The project
context.
Aircraft emissions reduction is a systems question involving technology, fuels and the way aviation operates.
My
contribution.
I researched the question of how aircraft emissions can be reduced for my master’s dissertation.
The system
focus.
The relationship between engineering decisions and environmental impact in aviation.
Published
context.
ICAO describes a combination of aircraft technology, sustainable aviation fuels and operational improvements as part of the response to aviation emissions. NASA research also examines how fuel choices affect engine particles and contrail formation.
