The phrase "aircraft efficiency" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the performance, fuel consumption, or operational effectiveness of an aircraft.
Example: "The new design significantly improves aircraft efficiency, leading to lower operational costs."
Alternatives: "aviation efficiency" or "airplane performance".
But even if Airbus achieves those low figures per passenger-kilometre in real operation, the big problem is that passenger-kilometres are going up far faster than aircraft efficiency is improving.
Through a combination of increased aircraft efficiency, the growing popularity of applying liquid pesticides & herbicides from ground-based spray rigs & the economics of contemporary farming, the number of crop-dusting planes is thinning.
But this would depend on improbable improvements in aircraft efficiency; a misreading of the climate impacts of available biofuels; and a 6,600% increase in carbon taxes, according to Greenpeace UK's chief scientist, Doug Parr.
Indeed, aircraft efficiency has increased some 70% since the 1960s.
The Secret To Southwest's Success 04.18.02 Hint: It's not the airline's point-to-point routes and aircraft efficiency.
The secret to the success of Southwest Airlines is not rocket science: low costs attributable to no-frills point-to-point routes and aircraft efficiency.
Moreover the aircraft technological efficiency is described by three aircraft performance metrics: engine efficiencies are expressed in terms of thrust specific fuel consumption (TSFC), aerodynamic efficiencies are measured in terms of maximum lift over drag ratio (Lmax/D) and structural efficiency is quantified using operating empty weight (OEW) divided by maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) [19, 20].
Improvements in aircraft fuel efficiency and technology and better air traffic management are likely to allow for a 54percentt increase in the number of flights at all British airports without breaching the government's goal of reducing aviation emissions by midcentury to 2005 levels, the Committee on Climate Change, an independent advisory body, said in a report.
Improvement in aircraft fuel efficiency depends upon the design of the engine and airframe products.
Also, the fuel cost is the main driver for improvements to aircraft fuel efficiency [4, 74].
Historically, jet fuel prices have been the main driver for improvements in aircraft fuel efficiency [16].
