柯南道尔是美国航空公司的首席执行官。美航的飞机,除了代表公司标志的红白蓝条纹外,一律不涂任何油漆,每架飞机因此减少了约400磅的重量,进而一年省下约1.2万美元的燃油。尝到甜头的柯南道尔,开始向飞机内部寻找“减肥”办法.最后把目光瞄上了座椅。通过技术改进,每台座椅都变轻了一点点,但整架飞机却减少了近1500磅的重量,每年又能省下约2.2万美元的燃油。 Conan Doyle is the chief executive of American Airlines. American Airlines aircraft, in addition to the red, white and blue stripes on behalf of the company logo, are not coated with any paint, each aircraft thus reducing the weight of about 400 pounds, thereby saving about 12,000 US dollars a year of fuel. Taste the sweet of Conan Doyle, began to look inside the aircraft to “lose weight” approach, and finally set his sights on the seat. Through technical improvements, each seat lighter a little bit, but the entire aircraft has been reduced by nearly 1,500 pounds, each can save about 22,000 US dollars of fuel.
