UNSEEN PASSAGE

Q.1 Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions:

New Age Aviation
1. Last summer I boarded a flight from the IGI airport. The airplane’s engine was running but it itself waited at the runway in a queue to take off for one hour, with the engines running. A lot of aviation fuel was wasted. Carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and water vapour were released into the atmosphere.
2. The skies also could not escape pollution as well with the entry of many players in the aviation industry. As the number of airlines and their flights growing every day, and expected to grow more over the coming decades, the problem of delayed arrival and departure will intensify.
3. The infancies in the air and on the ground caused by the system also mean wastage of fuel and excessive of CO2. However, air travel industry is coming under scrutiny due to its contribution in climate change. With the rapid economic growth and ever-increasing affordability of air travel, this industry will only expand at a much faster pace than ever before, thus increasing the rate of carbon emissions.
4. Aircraft emission pollutes the air and threatens to become one of the largest contributes of global warming by 2050. Though the pollution from the aircraft is less than 3% of the environmental pollution, but it is one of the fastest growing contributions to global warming.
5. Available and a sustainable solution comes from the next generation jet bio fuels made from algae or coconuts. Another sustainable alternative would be to put an analogtrac-control system, which is installed in a few airports around the world.
6. Next Gen is the FAA’s (Federal Aviation Administration) long term plan to replace the current U.S. radar-based air – trac control system with one that operates using satellites and a global positioning system. Instead of a radar system, that updates the position of planes only as often as its dish rotates every 12 sec. or so, next Gen will use satellite data to locate planes in real time. Instead of relying on time consuming voice communication with a control tower, pilots will instantly know the location, speed and direction of the planes around them.
