When using the electric taxi system, pilots will be able to load up
their passengers, taxi to the runway run up area, and start their
engines-all without using fuel. Reducing Business Jet Carbon
Footprint details how business jets equipped with the aircraft
electric taxi system will be able to land, turn off main engines
and taxi on the tarmac using electric power. Aerospace
engineer/scientist and licensed FAA commercial pilot Dr. Thomas F
Johnson describes how the electric taxi system saves fuel (and
reduces emissions) for medium to long range business jets by using
electricity for certain aspects before take-off and after landing.
Dr. Johnson's work as an Aerospace engineer has rewarded him with
three patents related to the aircraft gas turbine engine (GTE). His
knowledge of commercial flight and plane mechanics are featured in
Reducing Business Jet Carbon Footprint, where he explains the
details (and potential costs) of installing the electric taxi
system. Johnson examines how the use of clean energy will improve
airport air quality and preserve fuel consumption for when it's
needed. His writing models and simulates the exciting new
technological opportunities for air travel-ready to be put into
service.
