Even though new engines haven’t changed much by outward appearances, aircraft reciprocating engine technologies have advanced dramatically in past two decades. The overall build quality of engine has greatly improved. Advancements in machining technologies and automatic manufacturing processes made it possible for aircraft engine makers to enhance machine’s durability. Many components of piston engines have been significantly improved, ...

1. What is the potential impact of supersonic transports (SSTs) on the ozone layer? An alarming ozone loss has been reported in the past decades, and studies showed that this global problem is attributed largely to human activities. Advancement in technology resulted in the development of high-speed air transport that are economically competitive compared to other forms of aircrafts. There is, however, the associated risk that supersonic transports can impact in the destruction of the ozone layer due to the large amount of atmospheric pollution that it emits. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology carried a study on the possible ...

Q1:The ethicality of offshoring is largely dependent on what services are being offshored. If these are services involving an increased risk in the confidentiality of patient and tax client information (Mintz, 2004), then, offshoring is unethical.

There are many advantageous reasons for offshoring, such as taking advantage of foreign ...
