In America we tend to think that bigger is better. It’s a national philosophy that has worked for us for decades. Bigger cars, bigger houses, bigger banks, supersized fast food — we’ve built our society around the concept that anything worth doing is worth doing BIG!
Well look where that’s gotten us. Fuel-conscious consumers are buying smaller cars. Homeowners are dumping big, high-mortgage homes and looking for smaller, more reasonably priced homes. With obesity becoming the country’s No. 1 health issue, Americans are finally saying no to big portion sizes. And bigger banks? They’re on everyone’s hit list these days. Taking charge of the public lynch mob, President Obama yesterday proposed huge taxes on big banks telling them, “We want our money back!” Bigger is no longer better.
Detroit has caught on to the new American appreciation for small, practical, fuel efficient and affordable. Compacts stole the spotlight at this week’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Detroit’s new motto seems to be “Small Is Better.” It’s a philosophy that seems to be gaining ground as it spreads through American society. Airports, corporate air operations, commercial airlines and FBOs are certainly taking notice.
Behemoth gas-powered aircraft tugs that gulp down fuel, spew out air-fouling exhaust, jack up maintenance bills, require huge amounts of room to maneuver, and take up outsized amounts of space for storage are becoming the dinosaurs of the aviation industry. Smart, energy-conscious ground operations managers are turning to versatile, compact, fuel-efficient, low-maintenance Lindy aircraft tugs and tow tractors to maneuver aircraft safely and efficiently in less space with less hassle.
