wrote: OK, here's my question. Aircraft manufacturers will do just about anything to get 1% fuel savings. Boeing says the 787 will be 20% more efficient - HOW? And why is everyone OK with it? I'm just curious, I'm not doubting their claims, but sometimes if things sound too good to be true... One assumes they're saying 20 percent more efficient than the 777, and that it's accomplished by cutting weight, streamlining design, and buying better engines. The engines of course are fungible. Airbus proposes to use them on its 787 killer (which will probably never get off the ground). -- all the best, Dan Ford email (put Cubdriver in subject line) Warbird's Forum: www.warbirdforum.com Piper Cub Forum: www.pipercubforum.com the blog: www.danford.net In Search of Lost Time: www.readingproust.com
