A Fond Farewell to Ve Fantastic Eets
NEWS RELEASE A fond farewell to ve fantastic eets 4/30/2020 Last month, American Airlines announced plans to accelerate the retirement of some older, less fuel-ecient aircraft from its eet sooner than originally planned. As ying schedules and aircraft needs are ne-tuned during this period of record low demand, American will take the unique step of retiring a total of ve aircraft types. American has ocially retired the Embraer E190 and Boeing 767 eets, which were originally scheduled to retire by the end of 2020. The airline has also accelerated the retirement of its Boeing 757s and Airbus A330-300s. Additionally, American is retiring 19 Bombardier CRJ200 aircraft operated by PSA Airlines. These changes remove operating complexity and will bring forward cost savings and eciencies associated with operating fewer aircraft types. It will also help American focus on ying more advanced aircraft as we continue receiving new deliveries of the Airbus A321neo and the Boeing 737 MAX and 787 family. American’s narrowbody eet also becomes more simplied with just two cockpit types – the Airbus A320 and the Boeing 737 families. This benets American’s operational performance through training eciency and streamlined maintenance. American continues to evaluate its schedule and remains committed to caring for customers on life’s journey. These changes will help American continue to provide a reliable travel experience around the world, even during these uncertain times. Here’s a snapshot of the aircraft exiting American’s eet: Airbus A330-300 — Blue Sky News/Pittsburgh International AirportAirbus A330-300 1 Joined the US Airways eet in 2000 prior to joining American’s eet in 2013. -
Risk to Ozone and Ozone-Derived Oxidation Products on Commercial Aircraft Clifford P
Risk to Ozone and ozone-derived oxidation products on commercial aircraft Clifford P. Weisela Charles J. Weschlera,b Kris Mohana Jack Spenglerc Jose Vallarinoc William W Nazaroffc aEnvironmental & Occupational Health Sciences Institute, Rutgers University, NJ bInternational Centre for Indoor Environment and Energy,Tech Inst Denmark cHarvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA dDepartment of Civil and Environmental Engineering, UC, Berkeley, CA Background • At cruise altitude (10000 to 11000 m), ozone levels outside an aircraft are high – typically 200 to 800 ppb • Atmospheric conditions, such as folds in the tropopause, can result in an influx of stratospheric air into the lower atmosphere. Thus even lower flying aircraft can encounter high ozone levels Background • In the 1960s high ozone levels Dr. David Bates placed rubber bands (specially produced without antioxidants) in planes and observed that they cracked in an analogous fashion to a similar set exposed to ozone on the ground. At the same time toxicological symptom associated with ozone was observed occurring in flight attendants • To reduce ozone on planes that cruise at high altitude most wide-body aircraft have ozone filters to remove ~85% of the ozone from the ventilation air • However, only ~ 1/2 narrow-body aircraft remove ozone from the ventilation air Background • In 1980 FAA set an ozone standard in the airplane cabin of 100ppb average for flights exceeded 3 hours and 250ppb maximum – sea level equivalent. (Note ground level standard in 75ppb for 8 hours and 120ppm for -

787 Interior
Backgrounder Boeing Commercial Airplanes P.O. Box 3707 MC 03-XW Seattle, Washington 98124-2207 www.boeing.com Boeing 787 Dreamliner Offers Enhanced Experience for Passengers By combining its unique understanding of how the human body reacts to flight conditions and how emerging technologies can improve those conditions, Boeing has created a better flying experience with its 787 Dreamliner. Along with universities from around the world, Boeing embarked on several studies to understand how altitude, humidity, air contaminants, lighting, sound and space affect passengers. In addition, Boeing studied how these factors play together to develop combinations that create the best overall experience. These findings led to significant improvements on the 787. Ride Quality: Providing a Smoother Flight Passengers give higher ratings to flights that do not encounter turbulence. Sensors on the 787 are designed to counter the effects of turbulence by causing certain control surfaces to change slightly. This innovative system helps maintain a smoother ride throughout the flight, reducing nausea for those subject to motion sickness. Altitude: How High Is Just Right? Most airplanes are pressurized to a typical cabin altitude of 6,500 to 7,000 feet (1,981 – 2,133 m), with a maximum certification altitude of 8,000 feet (2,438 m). Because the advanced composite materials that make up the 787’s fuselage do not fatigue, the 787 can be pressurized more, which allows for lower cabin altitude levels. Studies at Oklahoma State University explored the effect of altitude on passengers to determine optimum levels. After testing at various altitudes, it became clear that lowering the cabin altitude to 6,000 feet (1,830 m) provided meaningful improvements. -
