AeroTech Services Shows Major Airlines How to Reduce Fuel Costs
AeroTech Services Inc., an aircraft modification and consulting company, announced it is in negotiations with several major commercial airlines regarding its fuel saving wing modification for the Boeing 737-200, -300, -400 and -500 Series aircraft; which enables the airlines to reduce fuel burn and carbon dioxide emissions by up to 4%.
Reno, NV (PRWEB) January 15, 2008 -- AeroTech Services Inc., an aircraft modification and consulting company, announced it is in negotiations with several major commercial airlines regarding its fuel saving wing modification for the Boeing 737-200, -300, -400 and -500 Series aircraft; which enables the airlines to reduce fuel burn and carbon dioxide emissions by up to 4%.

AeroTech Services stated that they are currently in talks with 17 commercial carriers, including some of the largest passenger airlines in the world. "This has become an urgent issue," stated James Nettle, Director of AeroTech Services, Inc., "the recent fuel cost crisis and public awareness of the green house gas emissions have woken up all the airlines." He continued, "We are being inundated with an unprecedented level of interest from major carriers all over the world who are essentially asking to see how useful and cost effective our modification will be for them."
AeroTech Services' modification increases the aircraft's wing area and camber, resulting in an increased lift-to-drag ratio, effectively cutting fuel burn and emissions during climb and cruise periods. The wing modification typically takes 300 man hours to install and can earn back a 100% return on investment (in fuel savings) in approximately 12 to 15 months of commercial use. This makes it much more cost effective and easy to install, when compared to the competitors.
The modification has been approved, and results verified, by the United States Federal Aviation Agency (FAA), the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), Transport Canada, and the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China (CAAC). Also, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), "Each kilogram of fuel saved reduces CO2 emissions by 3.16 kilograms." If the fuel consumption of a B737 Classic is reduced by just 3%, it would equate to a reduction of over 645 tonnes of CO2 emissions per aircraft, per year, under typical commercial operations.
AeroTech Services' goal is to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions on 1000 of the B737 Classic Series, worldwide, by 2010. The B737 "Classics" are the largest fleet of aircraft in the world, with about 2600 in commercial service. This would mean a reduction of 645,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. Other emissions will also be reduced proportionately to the fuel burn.
AeroTech Services, Inc. was founded in 1995. James Nettle and James Lord filed a patent application in 2001 titled "Method for Reducing Fuel Consumption in Aircraft." The United States Patent & Trademark Office issued U.S. Patent No. 6,598,834 to them on July 29, 2003.
AeroTech Services, Inc., a Reno, Nevada-based company, holds the US Patent No. 6,598,834 on the wing modification for all aircraft. The company markets and sells the modification worldwide to commercial airline operators.
