EasyJet EcoJet

EasyJet plans for more environmentally friendly flying - their design for short-haul routes features rear-mounted open rotor engines. In easyJet’s current configuration and operation, the projection for the eco-liner would generate less than 47g of CO2 per passenger km. For comparison, easyJet’s current operations generate 97.5g of CO2 per passenger km and the Toyota Prius emits 104g of CO2 per kilometre.
