What is this?

contrails

10

What is 'contrails' short for?

condensation trails

10

. What are contrails primarily composed of?

water in the form of ice crystals

10

What is the name of the cloud created from spread contrails?

cirrus aviaticus

10

How much can the use of biofuels reduce contrail generation, according to the research performed with flying DC-8 ?

50 to 70 percent, using a 50% blend of conventional Jet A1 fuel and HEFA

10

What negative effect on global warming do contrails have?

They act as a radiative forcing - trap the heat in the atmosphere

10

Give three ideas how the noise pollution can be reduced.

improving engines, restrictions on flights during night, using blast fences

10

Give example of different waste generated by aviation industry. (5)

terminal waste (plastic/ glass/ paper), sewage, vehicles, transport to/ from airport, maintenance fluids,

10

What is the de-icing fluid mage of?

45% water and 55% glycol

10

What does an aircraft emit while flying?

nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, water vapor, sulfur oxides, lead, black carbon

10

Give five ideas how the negative influence of aviation on environment can be reduced.

improving fuel-efficiency of engines, improving aerodynamics, using more lightweight materials, imposing taxes, reducing domestic flights, improving operations

10

What is the greenhouse gases emission created by aviation industry (which includes all greenhouse gases, not only CO2)?

1.9%

10

What is the CO2 emission of aviation industry?

2.5% of total emission

10

What is 'effective radiative forcing’? What should be taken into consideration when calculatng it?

It's the total impact on warming: CO2- less than half; 66% - non-CO2 forcings; contrails

10

Explain what "replenished" means.

Filled up again; freshened

10

Explain what "gauge" means.

An instrument for measuring or testing
