In 2012, Airbus conducted research into the resources that could be saved with the use of more efficient technology on board passenger aircraft.

The company’s research shows that 86 percent of global travelers felt that aircraft innovations that enabled less fuel consumption and fewer carbon emissions were most appealing.
