My first thought as well.
The drop in the price of oil has discouraged airlines from investing in more efficient engines for their fleet, I assume there are similar economics at play here.
- justsid 11y agoThat’s simply not true! Airplanes are developed over decades and then stays in service over decades, current low fuel prices won’t change decisions that are being made years into the future. All current in development airplanes (and I’m talking non-GA non military here), focus on increased efficiency and fuel consumption.
