What is the relationship between commercial aviation and the environment?
Commercial aviation has no alternative to petroleum-based fuel. As with any engine that uses hydrocarbon fuels, one of the results is the emission of carbon dioxide. As climate change has become a more pressing issue in the international community, U.S. commercial aviation manufacturers have made it a priority to minimize our environmental impact as much as possible, including developing bio-fuels.
