To Increase Passenger Jet Fuel Efficiency, Airlines Look to Nature's Flying Formations - http://www.popsci.com/technol...
"If the planes rotate positions so each one spends time in the favorable spots, the team found that the planes could shave 15 percent from both fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, while trimming a quarter from nitrogen oxide output." I wonder how hard this is to implement. People have been working on fuel efficiency of planes for a long time. Saving so much fuel would be a big deal. Via Matt. - Dan F

I've been a member of the Concord Coalition, a bipartisan group which champions fiscal responsibility, since the mid 90s. It has been downhill and accelerating the whole way. This is a top 3 issue. If we have money, we will be able to do a lot of great things; if we don't, we won't be able to do anything after awhile. - Dan F
