Tweet Picks:

@Boeing We’re on our way!. This MD-90 was ferried to Palmdale for conversion into the X-66A, the flying test article for the Sustainable Flight Demonstrator program. This groundbreaking work could reduce fuel consumption and emissions up to 30%.

@dgelles NEW: Google, Breakthrough Energy and American Airlines say they’ve conducted real world tests that reduced by half the formation of contrails, a surprisingly potent source of global warming.  Details only on Climate Forward.

@eVTOLnWithNolen I’m encouraged by how the @FAANews and the @USDOT have dramatically accelerated the pace of activity to further advanced air mobility recently.

@poloconghaile There are c. 67,000 hotel rooms in Ireland, but 11,500 more will be required in the next decade if projected tourism demand is to be met, a new @Irishtourismind report says.

@winglets747 MSP’s long-haul network is all Delta JV (Delta, Air France, KLM) or Icelandair.  No British Airways (and they have a large US network) or any service from the Lufthansa Group. Aer Lingus’ new MSP-DUB route provides an alternative for one-stop Europe.
