Abstract

Aviation-related emissions and their impacts are comprehensively discussed in this chapter. Previous studies are described in “Previous Studies,” and their relevance is discussed throughout the chapter. In “Jet Engine Emissions,” five common emissions species with contrail formation are described along with qualitative and quantitative results from important investigations. Relationships between aviation emissions and fuel usage are also illustrated. In the mitigation strategies section, emission abatement methods are investigated, focusing on three main areas: technology, flight procedures, and alternative fuels. Both theoretical and practical methods with the potential to decrease emissions are discussed. In the legislation section, the status of emissions regulations is discussed, and emissions charges applied by airports are identified. Examples are provided throughout the chapter to illustrate the points addressed. To complement the main body of the chapter, much detailed information related to aircraft emissions compiled from various sources are provided in the appendix.
