Question

Which consume more fuel a big aircraft or a big boat?

Answer 1

What are you asking, Av Gas, fuel oil, Nuclear, you have to decide which fuel you are comparing. Aircraft don`t use nuclear fuel, they also don`t use fuel oil, therefore you cannot compare like for like, but. take a look at an aircraft flying at 35000 ft and consider that it can keep going for hours and hours with about 300 people on board on only the fuel it is carrying, it does`nt take much figuring..

Answer 2

take into account the amount of passengers

Answer 3

Many large boats are powered by the same number and types of gas turbines that power jet airliners.  Of course the boat is much bigger; but it also goes much slower.

Answer 7

Boats.   Propellors (as we are now discovering) is one of the most inefficient modes of travel.  They make for TONS of resistance (not to mention water creates more friction than air) therefore anything that travels in water naturally uses more energy (resulting in more fuel) than anything traveling in air.
