Kirk said a steady stream of small improvements is how maintenance shops improve reliability and reduce costs. He cited fuel economy as an example.
“It is incremental measures that help improve fuel economy,” Kirk said, indicating that the engineers are trying to combine numerous small changes rather than discover a single blockbuster leap in technology.
