MINNEAPOLIS — United Airlines says it will demonstrate new fuel-saving methods on two flights between Europe and the U.S. on Saturday.
The airline says it expects to save about 940 gallons of fuel on the flights, which will carry paying passengers. Commercial flights usually stay at a precise altitude. But this flight will drift up and down as much as 3,000 feet. That way, the pilots won’t need to burn extra fuel maintaining a precise altitude.
