RomanSolder — do NOT modify article titles, especially when you are adding factually incorrect information. The article is accurate and well written. Nowhere does it say the aircraft will turn off their engines. You have needlessly worked up a lot of people up with your comment. This makes FR look ridiculous.

I find the article to be well written and factual.

To all those complaining about Scientific American, note that this article was sourced from “E&E News” (Energy & Environment News) which is owned by Politico. Their FAQ says: “E&E News is a distinct brand and product owned by POLITICO LLC. E&E News is sold separately from other POLITICO products.”

The CEO of “E&E News” is Goli Sheikholeslami who was appointed CEO of Politico in January 2022.

January 10, 2022: Axel Springer today announced that Goli Sheikholeslami has been appointed as the new CEO of POLITICO Media Group. She will start in February. POLITICO Media Group is comprised of the media brands Axel Springer acquired in a 2021 eye-catching deal with Robert Allbritton, including POLITICO and Protocol. In addition, Sheikholeslami will become Chairperson of the Shareholder Advisory Board of POLITICO Europe, based in Brussels.
Sheikholeslami currently serves as President and CEO of New York Public Radio. She has vast experience in public and private media, including senior leadership roles at the Washington Post, Chicago Public Media, Conde Nast, and Time Warner. Sheikholeslami also served on the board at NPR from 2016 to 2019 and currently serves on the Board of Patreon, the membership platform for artists and creators.
Sheikholeslami grew up in suburban Washington, D.C., and received her undergraduate degree in international economics from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. She also earned an MBA from the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business. Sheikholeslami is the daughter of an Iranian diplomat and with her family fled shortly after the country’s 1979 revolution, arriving in the United States as political refugees.

Minho Kim says the engines will be turned off .. like a paraglider.

SA hosted this trash article on their website.

Stop blaming the messenger for pointing out stupidity.

The article is nonsense. Read the first sentence of the article at the site:

Eleven more U.S. airports plan to adopt a new way of landing planes that reduces both emissions and noise — all by having incoming planes turn off their engines and glide down to the tarmac like a paraglider.
