How new paint job aims to cut Easyjet's fuel bills

Easyjet, one of Europe's largest airlines, thinks it has found a way to save money using a technology you cannot even see: a new paint job.

Easyjet hopes it will reduce drag as the plane flies through the air, increasing fuel efficiency and, ultimately, saving the airline hard cash.
