A leading resource on sustainable aviation, alternative jet fuels, and new propulsion systems
Â
This book tackles the impact of aviation on the environment at the engine component level, as well as the role of propulsion system integration on fuel burn. It also discusses combustion emissions, including greenhouse gases, carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons (UHC), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). Alternative jet fuels, like second generation biofuels and hydrogen, are also presented as well as aviation noise from airframe to engine and its impact on community noise in landing and takeoff cycles;Â promising new technologies for propulsion and power, like the ultra-high bypass (UHB) turbofan and hybrid-electric and electric propulsion systems.
