Document Summary

Number of figures and tables (including handwritten ones): 28. Engineering is the basis of most the technology in the world and along with this technology comes several protocols that must be followed such as, safety requirements and minimum environmental repercussions. Engineers can be asked to help reduce the effects certain technologies have on the environment and use cleaner methods of energy production. Transportation over long distances usually requires a large amount of energy as well as major greenhouse gas emissions. The purpose of the experiment was to prove whether air or automobile transport would be the most efficient method of travel. The experiment was done to estimate the fuel consumption and co2 emissions by air and automobile transport and compare the results to find the best and cleanest method of travel. Fuel consumption for the trip was calculated for three vehicles: aircraft e-1010, generic car and generic minivan using the statistics in table 1 and table 2.
