Reducing Airline's Carbon Footprint is the answer to the airline executives' problems, when it comes to looking for ways to reduce aircraft operations cost.

Reducing Airline's Carbon Footprint introduces the Electric Taxi System, ETS. When commercial aircrafts are equipped with this system, the cost of operation will be reduced due to taxi without the main engines running. Also, the aircraft engines will not be ingesting foreign object debris (FOD) causing damage to the internal moving parts, and the airport area air pollution will see a decrease. This is the grey cloud that hovers over most busy airports. Reducing Airline's Carbon Footprint breaks through this cloud by providing ETS as the solution.

Throughout its pages, Dr. Thomas F Johnson addresses these benefits of ETS:

  • Improvement of Airport Area Air Quality
  • Reduce aircraft carbon footprint
  • Potential Costs of ETS Installation
  • Fuel Consumption Evaluation before and after ETS installation
  • Ground Taxi Time Evaluation
  • Improved Airport Terminal Accessibility
  • Landing Gear Compatibility for the ETS Installation
  • Reducing Airlines' Carbon Footprint
