Reduce: The Impact of Aeroplanes

August 19, 2009

You know how birds fly in formation?

Geese flying in formation.

Planes flying in formation.

It would reduce the amount of fuel required bit quite a significant margin. The planes at the back could coast, to a degree, in the first plane’s ‘updraft’. As someone who flies a couple of times a year for work, this is pretty cool news! I hope the airlines start implementing this soon.
