Aluminium's unbeatable strength to weight ratio¹ gives it many uses in the transport industry. Transport is all about moving things around and to do so a force is always required. As force = mass x acceleration (Newton's Second Law of Motion), less force is needed to move a lighter object to a certain acceleration than is needed to get a heavier object to the same acceleration. As aluminium is so lightweight this means that less energy needs to be used to move a vehicle made with aluminium than one made from a heavier metal, say steel. Although aluminium isn't the strongest of metals its alloys use other elements to pin dislocations in its structure to increase its strength. With trains, boats and cars aluminium is useful for this lightweight property (which gives fuel efficiency) but not essential, in planes however maintaining a relatively low weight is vital (in order to level the ground), and aluminium allows planes to have to this. In modern planes aluminium makes up 80% of their (unladen) weight, and a normal Boeing 747 contains about 75 000 kg of the metal. Its corrosion resistance is an advantage in transport (as well as packaging) as it makes painting planes unnecessary saving some hundreds of kilograms of further weight.

Air New Zealand’s Biofuel Flight Cuts Emissions

At the Eco-Aviation Conference in Washington, Air New Zealand’s Chief Pilot Captain David Morgan announced the company’s findings on a test flight from last December. Powered by a combination of biofuel and jet fuel, the test resulted in a fuel savings of 1.2%. It also cut CO2 emissions by over 60%!

While a 1.2% fuel savings doesn’t seem like much, that is over 1 ton of fuel!

The test was conducted using a commercial 747-400 fitted with Rolls Royce engines. Rolls Royce had certified the fuel — a 50:50 blend of standard Jet A1 fuel and synthetic paraffinic kerosene derived from jatropha oil

EMBRAER DELIVERS FIRST EMBRAER 195 JET TO AIR

Aircraft is part of the order for 30 E-Jets by Lufthansa for its regional subsidiaries

São José dos Campos, January 27, 2009

Embraer will deliver the first EMBRAER 195 jet, today, to Air Dolomiti, the Lufthansaowned Northern Italy regional carrier, during a ceremony held at Embraer’s headquarters in São José dos Campos, Brazil. The deal with Lufthansa was announced in June 2007, covering 30 firm orders for the EMBRAER 190 jet, with the option to take any aircraft of the E-Jets family.

Air Dolomiti’s EMBRAER 195 is configured for 116 seats in a single-class layout, with a moveable partition. It will be used to link Air Dolomiti’s Italian network to Lufthansa’s Munich hub, in Germany.
