Jet Engine Emissions And Vapor Contrail Reduction Through Increased Combustion Efficiency With The Aim To Mitigate Greenhouse Gases Emissions, Austin J. Brant
Honors College Theses
As society continues to globalize and advance in complexity, the increased demand for business aviation has caused the global travel rate of airlines to increase with each year. With this continual increase in aviation travel, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) predicts that the fuel consumption rate is to increase by 1.6 percent as of the year 2025. While this increase in fuel consumption is a positive trait of a thriving aviation community, concerns also arise regarding increased greenhouse gas emissions and enlarged contributions to the greenhouse effect. The most prevalent greenhouse gases associated with jet engine emissions are water vapor, …

The pollution from the aerospace transportation is rapidly becoming the largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The FAA expects aviation emissions to almost triple by 2050, making the aerospace industry responsible for the release of approximately 25% of the global carbon dioxide budget. These aviation emissions, including CO2 and NOx, as well as other GHGs, contribute to the destruction of ozone layer. Carbon dioxide emissions have a particularly negative effect on humans, leading to airway diseases especially in children and elderly. To combat the addition of further GHG emissions into the atmosphere, it is necessary to minimize the usage …
