Air Force saves $7M on fuel for KC-135 by turning windshield wipers vertical

Business

April 20 (UPI) -- Windshield wiper blades mounted vertically on a KC-135 Stratotanker's windshield can save about $ 7 million in annual fuel costs, a U.S. Air Force test concluded. Aerodynamic drag is reduced by about 1 percent, under cruise conditions, when the wipers are left upright on the windshield, the Air Force said in a statement on Monday. It could potentially save $ 7 million annually in fuel costs for the 398 KC-135 planes in the Air Force fleet. "While one percent efficiency may not seem like a lot, it equates to millions of dollars in fuel savings each year, which can then be re-invested into other programs," Daniel Pike, acquisition manager and chief of future operations for Air Force Operational Energy, said in a press release.

According to a new study, as coal plants closed -- many of them, replaced by natural gas plants -- local pollution levels have dropped. In addition to emitting CO2, coal plants also produce more particulate matter and ozone, two main components of smog, one of the most common forms of air pollution. Studies have linked smog with a variety of human ailments, including lung disease, heart disease, stroke and cance...
