Introduction to Research Manuscript Henry V Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Prof. Dr P Mar 22, 2019 Introduction to Research Manuscript The research topic targeted for the final research manuscript is bio-fuel/alternative fuel for commercial and alternative fuel. This topic has attracted widespread attention over the recent past with many developments underway to find alternative fuel sources for the aviation industry. The rationale for selecting this topic stems from the detrimental environmental effects that conventional fossil fuels used in the aviation industry manifest. These effects include increased emissions of greenhouse gases that have exacerbated the phenomenon of global warming (Nelson & Reddy, 2018). Besides having negative effects on the environment, global warming also affects biodiversity in detrimental ways. It is worth mentioning that fossil fuels used in the aviation industry are additionally non-sustainable, mainly due to the continuously depleting nature of petroleum-based fuels. Apart from their role in ensuring environmental sustainability, aviation fuels made of sustainable resources would also support economic and social development (Nelson & Reddy, 2018). Notable examples of alternative sources of fuel that can find direct utility in the aviation industry include biodiesel, synthetic fuels, and electric drive systems. Nevertheless, in order to assure success in developing and deploying bio-fuels and alternative fuels in the aviation industry, it is paramount to address some challenges that have undermined the development of these fuels. Some of these challenges as identified by Socha, Socha, Cekan, Cekanova, Hanakova, & Puskas (2017) include production economics characterized by high production costs, pessimism among some concerned stakeholders, and technological challenges.

This what the instructor wrote regarding this paper: Henry, A research paper is not just an end of term review of the literature sooooo are you going to compare existing sustainable fuels and assess the pros and cons of each and then make recommendations based on that? Or what? Dr. P 9.5 Research Design: Completed Research Manuscript (PLG1) The research manuscript you develop should adhere to the current Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. In particular, the manuscript structure should conform to the provisions in relevant chapters of the Manual and include the following: · Cover page (title, author name, and institutional affiliation) · Abstract · Introduction (problem, importance, literature review, and hypothesis or question) · Method (all relevant subparts) · References · Appendices (if appropriate) Length of the manuscript will depend on how you construct the sections, however, the main body of text (excluding cover page, abstract, references, and appendices) should be no less than 12 pages and generally should not exceed 15 pages. Use Times New Roman and font size of 12-point with 1 inch margins. All other punctuation should conform to provisions of the APA Manual. The manuscript you construct should not be prepared using the ERAU guidelines for a capstone proposal or a thesis prospectus. The product for this course is not intended to serve as an approved capstone proposal or a thesis prospectus, although some benefit should be gained toward your eventual completion of that degree requirement. Your research manuscript, when prepared according to APA style and format, should be suitable as a draft for later submission to a journal editor for a peer-reviewed publication upon executing the methodology and completing the analysis. · Proper problem identification and demonstration of importance. · Highlighted literature and relevance with the problem. · Application of a valid research methodology with proper statistical assessment. · Persuasive explanation of how results are presented. · Adherence to the APA Publication Manual.
