The role of technology as air transportation faces the fuel situationThe discussion of system integrators whose task is to identify the application and payoff of various research disciplines is limited to aircraft of the subsonic commerical transport type. The aim is to provide a brief description of the existing fuel situation, the progress made in fuel reduction, near-term prospects for further reductions, and long-term prospects for even further reductions, all primarily from the technology point of view.
