It has always bemused me as to why, with so many brand new energy saving engines available now, being produced by the best engine manufacturers in the World, compared to 25 odd years ago, we do not fit them to older current production plane designs, obviously with some modifications, to be able to save fuel, & have quite interiors, & travel further for cheaper costs, similar to fitting new engines in older cars, as some now do, retro fitting new engines with savings could give new life to designs like the extended Boeing 747 Jumbo Aircraft.
Obviously, others must have thought about this, but what does the Manufacturers & Airlines think?
It would be interesting to hear what they might say on this matter, after all everyone has their favourite plane they have flown on,what do you all think?
