Exhaust emissions from an aircraft gas turbine are studied. Estimated emissions deposited into the atmosphere per passenger for a typical journey by car and by aircraft are compared. For this consideration, the duty of the combustor is studied and emissions characteristics shown. Potential benefits of improved combustion are outlined. A summary of the current position illustrates that while it is difficult to justify economically the need for further work on smoke, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide, further progress is desirable on oxides of nitrogen and possibly carbon dioxide. These are considered in detail.
