The Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) study for Concorde implementation into operation at US airports, particularly at Dulles International Airport (Segal, J Air Pollut Control Assoc 28:1039–1042, 1978), has shown that the contribution of aircraft emissions to local air quality (LAQ) occurs mainly during two operational modes only: queuing and low-speed ground run prior to takeoff. The ICAO document 9889 “Airport Air Quality Manual” (2011) assists ICAO Member States in implementing best practices with respect to airport-related LAQ. For estimating the impact of air pollution, one may assume the short-term peak hour situation will be the most critical—for supersonic aircraft especially. For the results of the analysis of the previous studies made by CAEP/MDG and for the Concorde EIA in US airports, three simplified cases are defined. The principle for the new supersonic aircraft is its similarity to Concorde in airplane geometry, meaning the wake dynamics at takeoff and landing should be expected to be quite similar to Concorde. The variation of exceedance area with applied threshold concentration and total emission is consistent with theoretical estimates.
