Types of exhaust emissions produced by aircraft gas turbine engines are considered and an attempt to put these into context in both global and local airport terms with particular emphasis on freight transport is made. The basic operation of the gas turbine combustor and the need to maintain a high standard of airworthiness is discussed and the various techniques which are used to bring about emissions reductions are described. This leads into consideration of the likely trends in emission from aircraft sources as air traffic growth occurs and discussion of the need for future technological development to bring out emissions reductions. The various levels and types of technology which are associated with differing emission reductions are considered.
