Regular washing can make aircaft engines run cleaner and cooler, saving on fuel consumption and maintenance costs. Currently, C-17s and KC-10s receive regular engine washes, and AMC is looking into expanding this to othe aircraft. In this photo: Contractors from Pratt & Whitney install the wash hose of an ECO System to the front of a KC-135R Stratotanker engine at Scott AFB, Ill., on August 24, 2011.
