Sustainable energy for aviation: What are our options?
Traditional aircrafts use refined kerosene as a fuel source which at today’s oil prices cost is around $5 per gallon. A Boeing 747 holds 63,346 gallons of fuel, which comes out to be an astonishing (close to) $300,000 . Hence more efficient and cheaper fuels are significantly important for aircrafts companies as their main goal […]
