Aircraft Thrust/Power Management Can

Save Defense Fuel, Reduce Engine

Maintenance Costs, And Improve Readiness


The Department of Defense could achieve
additional savings in aircraft fuel and re-
duce engine maintenance costs by making
greater use of reduced power takeoffs and
climbs by fighter aircraft, where feasible.
Commercial airlines and larger military air-
craft have used reduced power for several
years, with positive results.

Some bases have adopted fuel-efficient
procedures, which result in significant dif-
ferences in fuel consumption in the same
type of aircraft. Effective local initiatives
should be better identified, reviewed, and
implemented servicewide whenever
feasible.
