COLUMBIA, S.C. – As Mike Pence discussed his tenure as vice president with some 500 religious Republicans in South Carolina, some listeners couldn t help but wonder if they were seeing a preview of coming attractions. I said to my husband, Did you think this was a trial run for a campaign speech? said Beth Atwater, an attorney from Lexington, S.C., who attended Pence s speech before the Palmetto Family Council last week.
Republicans across the country are pondering Pence s chances of becoming president – thanks in part to the man who remains at the heart of Republican politics and made Pence vice president in the first place: Donald J. Trump.
Modern-day aircraft already make use of jet streams to save time and fuel, but a new study shows that by being a bit smarter about how they ride these winds, transatlantic flights could be using up to 16 percent less fuel – and pumping out much l

Commercial flights between New York and London could use less fuel if they make better use of the jet stream and satellite technology.

This is the conclusion of scientists at Reading University who found that transatlantic flights last winter could have used up to 16 per cent less fuel with better use of the fast-moving winds.
According to the team, new satellites will soon allow transatlantic flights to be tracked more accurately while remaining a safe distance apart. This could allow aircraft to be more flexible in their flight paths in order to more accurately follow favourable tailwinds and avoid headwinds. By doing so, the aviation sector could be presented with a cheaper and more immediate way of cutting emissions than through advances in technology.
Passenger aircraft could cut fuel costs and carbon emissions by taking better advantage of favourable winds at altitude, a new study reveals.
UK experts say commercial flights between New York and London last winter could have used up to 16 per cent less fuel if airlines made better use of fast-moving winds.
Total reductions would have added up to 6.7 million kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions across this period (from December 2019 to February 2020).
Carbon emissions from plane travel, which are focused in the upper atmosphere, are considered among the greatest contributors to global warming.
Earth-warming nitrogen oxides form when oxygen and nitrogen in the air interact during the high-temperature combustion events associated with jet fuel engines.
