Tests of a new NASA-developed, in-flight weather information system show that it could help airlines save nearly $6 million per year. The Cockpit Weather Information Needs (CWIN) system draws on several commercial data sources to create radar maps of storms and lightning and reports of surface observations. In NASA simulations from March to July, pilots on 14 flight crews burned less fuel and flew fewer miles in avoiding had weather using CWIN displays. (NASA Release 93-194)
