EASYJET ECOJET

I like the ring to that EasyJet EcoJet. EasyJet has just announced it’s going “green”.
Air travel is one of the big greenhouse gas emitters and one sector that has had many in conundrums.
Not for EasyJet. It looks as though EasyJet ecoJet has some very positive solutions.
Jets produce “contrails” which those “cool” white streams you see after a planes passing. They are noted to add to global warming for a variety of reasons.
This new EasyJet ecoJet is to cut carbon emission by…
50% by 2015. The British unveiled their model this past Thursday.
How does the ecoJet do what it’s tooting:
1) They use lower speeds
2) The use of weight reducing materials
3) Rotors (looks like two for now) fitted to the back end of the plane
These 3 items alone will improve on fuel efficiency, cut carbon emissions in half and nitrogen by a staggering 75%. It will also reduce air noise - they’re quieter. EasyJet ecoJet will be remembered as a pioneer in the field for eco friendly air travel, century 2000 (at least in my books).
Peace.
