NEO (new engine option)

NEO, which stands for “new engine option,” is an upgrade to the current engines used in modern airplanes. This upgrade was introduced by Airbus, a European aircraft manufacturer, in response to competition from Boeing, the American aircraft manufacturer.

NEO is a significant improvement over the previous engines, offering fuel efficiency and reduced noise levels. It is said that NEO engines are so quiet that passengers can hear themselves snore, and pilots can hear the flight attendants whispering in the cabin.

However, NEO has also been known to cause some unexpected side effects. For instance, it has been reported that birds are no longer scared of airplanes equipped with NEO engines, as they are so quiet that birds mistake them for large, flying trees.

Additionally, NEO has caused some confusion among air traffic controllers, who are used to hearing the familiar roar of the engines as planes take off and land. With NEO, they now have to rely on visual cues to determine a plane’s position and speed.

Despite its quirks, NEO has become increasingly popular among airlines, with many choosing to upgrade their fleet with this new engine option. Passengers have also embraced NEO, praising its quiet operation and reduced carbon emissions.

So, the next time you find yourself flying on a plane equipped with NEO engines, remember to keep an ear out for your own snoring and watch out for those flying trees!
