The General Aviation Industry in the past gave limited considerations to the utilization of energy and the environmental factors in its quest to improve performance. In spite of this, General Aviation aircraft are still one of the most efficient modes of transporation. In the present day environment of both energy and environmental constraints, coupled with cost escalation factors never before experienced, new approaches to improve the efficiency of General Aviation type aircraft must be utilized. Various methods to accomplish this objective are presented, most of which can be implemented within the next five-year period without seriously impacting the initial cost of the aircraft. (DePo)
