Does anyone know how to estimate CO2 emissions from small twin engine 5/6 seats aircraft?
For simplicity lets just consider emissions per hour during flight... not considering take off, landing, maneuvering, taxiing!
Thank you
A typical small twin fuel consumption is in the range of 100-110 litres/hr. Google tells me that one litre of gasoline produces 2.3 kg CO2.
