start with you, why not. >> boeing and airbus have outdone themselves. boeing has built a 787. smarter planes are more fuel efficient and the benefit of that is airlines can operate more specific routes, they could not serve with larger aircraft but much more fuel efficient way to fly passengers. >> fuel efficient sounds like it should mean lower prices. does that mean if they get rid of the jumbo jets are we going to be seeing lower air fares? >> i doubt it. remember over the years the airlines have lost a lot of money. especially the u.s. airlines are coming back into a period of profitability. if they can fly those planes full and they don't need the jumbo jets they are likely to target those routes where they can charge as much as possible. it is a lost opportunity to make revenue. >> i am sorry, go ahead. >> they are tough fit for the u.s. market. >> one of problems is those jumbo jets not only have double decks but twice as many engines, four engines where the other planes we are talking about only rely on two. we have a shot. we can do a comparison in our studio of the s

more than ten years ago, airbus the plane's manufacturer helped develop software to potentially allow computers to take over a flight if it got close to crashing. but the project was scrapped before it was put to use. >> in the case of the germanwings passenger murders, this technology i believe would have saved the flight. >> reporter: here's how it would work. if the pilot does not respond to current audible warnings in the cockpit, an auto pilot function would kick in steering the plane out of danger and on to a safe course. many commercial pilots say a plane should never be taken out of a pilot's control. the crash landing of u.s. airways flight 1549 on the hudson river in new york an example. after a flock of geese knocked out both engines, the heroic efforts of captain sully sullenberger saved all 155 people on board. some pilots also warn technology like enhanced crash avoidance could make jet liners vulnerable to hackers. >> more and more people will come to know the technology. they will work on the technology. and therefore, there will be bad people that will be able to expl
