Why is there carbon dioxide in a plane?

Answer 1

Although aviation is a relatively small industry, it has a disproportionately large impact on the climate system. It presently accounts for 4-9% of the total climate change impact of human activity.

Answer 2

Carbon dioxide is produced in airplanes due to the combustion of aviation fuel in the engines. This combustion process generates carbon dioxide as a byproduct, which is then released into the atmosphere through the aircraft's exhaust system.

Answer 3

A flat, geometric plane produces no CO2.

However, most aircraft burn carbon based fuel, and the combustion of this fuel releases carbon dioxide. A small Piper Club will burn about ten gallons per hour, releasing close to 200 pounds of CO2.

A commercial 747 typically burns about 3600 gallons of fuel per hour, liberating 34 tons of CO2.

Answer 4

Aeroplanes (piston engine, turbine, jet) all use hydrocarbon fuels (avgas, jet fuel) to produce power. Burning of hydrocarbon fuels produces carbon dioxide.

Answer 5

some of carbon dioxide is produced by planes but only 5.5 per cent of it so it is not that much...

Answer 6

Planes use petrol for engines and burn it into the atmosphere causeing global warming

Answer 7

Yes, burning any fuel, including jet fuel, releases carbon dioxide and water vapor. These are the two products from burning jet fuel.

Answer 8

There is carbon dioxide INSIDE a plane because humans breathe out carbon dioxide. There is carbon dioxide emitted FROM a plane because burning fossil fuel releases carbon dioxide.

Answer 9

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced by planes because CO2 is a result of the fuel burning.

Answer 10

it really is magic you see
