Fuel Savings The Qantas Dreamliner is an efficient airplane using up to 20 per cent less fuel than other aircraft of its size. Lower CO2 and NOx Emissions Smoother Ride Technology Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is produced as a result of fuel consumption and the reduced fuel consumption means fewer CO2 emissions. The state of the art engines in the Qantas Dreamliner also reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 20 per cent. The Qantas Dreamliner is equipped with a system that senses turbulence and commands wing control surfaces to counter it, smoothing out the ride so customers can enjoy a more comfortable flight.
