PARIS, June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — PARIS AIR SHOW — JetBlue Airways has signed an agreement to begin Pratt & Whitney EcoPower engine washes on its fleet of V2500 and CF34 engines. JetBlue will initially start washes at John F. Kennedy (JFK) International Airport in New York and at Orlando International Airport (MCO) in Florida with options to expand the service to 13 additional airport locations. Pratt & Whitney is a United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX) company.
“We estimate that there is a potential to save up to 1 million gallons of fuel annually and eliminate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 21.9 pounds for every gallon of fuel saved using Pratt & Whitney’s EcoPower engine wash service,” said Dave Ramage, JetBlue’s vice president of technical operations. ”This initiative provides us with the opportunity to run a more efficient and cost effective operation while at the same time continuing our commitment to make the world a greener place.”
“We are delighted to extend the benefits of EcoPower engine wash service to JetBlue,” said Joanne Hastings, director, Pratt & Whitney Line Maintenance Services. ”EcoPower washes provide a fast return on investment with extended time on wing, decreased fuel costs and reduced CO2 emissions.”
New York-based JetBlue Airways has created a new airline category based on value, service and style. JetBlue currently serves 55 cities with 600 daily flights with focus cities in Boston, Fort Lauderdale, Los Angeles, New York and Orlando.
Pratt & Whitney’s patented EcoPower engine wash system reduces fuel burn by as much as 1.2 percent, eliminating three pounds of carbon dioxide emissions for every pound of fuel saved, while also decreasing engine gas temperature thus increasing the amount of time an engine can stay on wing. The EcoPower system, offered through the Pratt & Whitney Global Service Partners network, uses a closed-loop system with pure, atomized water to wash aircraft engines, avoiding potential contaminant runoff. The water is collected during the wash process and treated on-site so it can be used again and again. Using only water, not chemicals means there are no detrimental chemical reactions to the engine. The system is more effective and much faster than traditional engine washing processes.

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
I’m with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I’m very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.

It is an enormous number — 1 billion+. Is there a more detail available?
Why is this cost increasing when enrollment is decreasing?
Every new opinion, at its starting, is precisely in a minority of one.” But I am sure your thinking will have a great succes, because I like them very much
