The given table illustrates the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted by nine specific private jets.
Overall, the jet with the largest CO2 emissions and the highest fuel consumption rate is Gulfstream III, whereas Cessna CJ II has the fewest number of emitted carbon dioxide pounds and the smallest quantity of fuel gallons needed per hour. Besides, according to the table, there are only three price categories: 2,700$ accounting for Cessna CJ II, Beechjet 400 and Hawker 400XP; 4,500$ constituting Cessna Citation XLS, Learjet 60, Hawker 800 XP and 6,750$ one with two different Gulfstream aircraft and Challenger 605.
More specifically, Gulfstream III expands slightly more than 10 thousand lbs during one hour flight. In this aspect Gulfstream III is followed by Gulfstream 550 with approximately 8,300 pounds, Challenger 605 (6,180) and other aircraft, which emissions vary from 4,017 lbs to 4,613. The least polluting private jet is Cessna CJ II, emitting merely 3,002 pounds of CO2.
In addition, the number of fuel gallons being consumed by aircraft in one hour is related to carbon dioxide emissions – the more jet emits, the more fuel it requires. Consequently, Gulfstream III demands 488 gallons, Gulfstream 550 is not far behind with 378, Challenger 605 follows them, requiring 280. Beechjet 400, Hawker 400XP, Cessna Citation XLS, Learjet 60 and Hawker 800 XP necessitate 182, 188, 204, 209 and 188 gallons, respectively. The fuel consumption of Cessna CJ II has the smallest necessary amount of merely 136 gallons.
