Unfortunately this is not the case. The amplifiers on the transmit-side phased arrays are about 10% efficient (perhaps 12% on a good day), but the amps represent only ~half the power consumption of the transmit phased arrays. The beamformers and processors are 0% efficient. The receive-side phased arrays are of course 0% efficient as well.

Etymonline disagrees; -plane here is from French planer "to soar," ultimately from Latin planus, "flat." http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=aeroplane
