Fly Green(er) on New 787’s

Boeing just announced that it sold 15 of its 787 jumbo jets to Virgin Atlantic. Not only are the new planes 27% percent more fuel efficient than the Airbus A340-300 aircraft it will replace, but Boeing has also announced plans to try to run their plans on bio-fuel. These would be the first major jets to run on bio-fuel, and mark a very serious step towards reducing carbon emissions from flying.
