Engine-core exhaust emissions were measured on a low-time JT8D-11 engine in both high-smoke and low-smoke configurations. Changing from the high-smoke to the low-smoke configuration considerably reduced the visible smoke, 55 to 90 percent, as measured using the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) smoke number. Carbon monoxide was reduced by up to 40 percent. Total unburned hydrocarbons were reduced by 40 percent at idle power, while the production of oxides of nitrogen was increased by 60 percent at the high power setting. These percentages are absolute with no consideration for time in mode, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) landing/takeoff cycle. (Author)
