Jun 13, 2006 (newstodate): By the end of the year, Airbus expects to complete a research on additional fuel savings on its Airbus A320 aircraft.
-We are currently assessing various winglet options, and also included in the research is an aerodynamical clean-up including the area between nacelles and wing structures, says John Leahy, Airbus COO.
-The immediate goal is fuel savings at four to five percent. If we can attain savings up to 10 percent, it will warrant a new business case for the A320, he says
