Steady progress is being made toward newer aircraft designs which consume much less fuel. Actual data of fuel consumption of presently operating aircraft have been recorded. The data was arranged with emphasis on operating costs vs. transported freight, historical flight range rate change, transported freight, transportation efficiency, and fuel consumption. At U.S. airlines, in operations from 1985 to 1987 transportation efficiency is below 5000 kg km/kg and total cost per km ranged from $0.09 to $0.87. Therefore, because total costs are not reduced, even if transportation freight are reduced, it is very important to keep track of freight amounts as a management tool. Other problems in air transportation are alternative fuels and environmental pollution. In the 21st Century, liquefied hydrogen may be used as an alternative to fossil fuel. The reduction of environmental pollution must be considered. reducing pollution are required.
