In the aviation industry the weight of an aircraft has a strong influence on the operating costs. Less weight means on the one hand less energy consumption and on the other hand a bigger capacity for passengers and freight. Assuming a Boeing 747 would carry 10 % less fuel, a payload of 10 tons would be feasible. Hence the net load ratio with equal weight is drastically improved. Furthermore secondary savings such as lowering the demand of fuel and reducing maintenance costs would promote a general reduction of the total costs.
