Aero Engine Concepts Beyond 2030: Part 1—The Steam Injecting and Recovering Aero Engine
TL;DR: In this article, a steam injecting and recovering aero engine (SIRA) is proposed to reduce fuel burn and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by about 15% and nitrogen oxides (NOx) formation can be almost completely avoided compared to state-of-the-art engines of the same technology level.
Is The Indirect Forcing By Aircraft Soot Positive Or Negative
C. Zhou,Joyce E. Penner +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the coupled Community Atmosphere Model version 5.2 (CAM5)/IMPACT model to estimate the climate impacts of aircraft soot acting as heterogeneous ice nuclei (IN) in large-scale cirrus clouds.

Analysis of Aircraft Routing Strategies for North Atlantic Flights by Using AirTraf 2.0
Hiroshi Yamashita,Feijia Yin,Volker Grewe,Patrick Jöckel,Sigrun Matthes,Bastian Kern,Katrin Dahlmann,Christine Frömming +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined variations in the flight characteristics among five aircraft routing strategies and discussed several characteristics of those routing strategies concerning typical weather conditions over the North Atlantic by using the European Center Hamburg general circulation model (ECHAM) and the Modular Earth Submodel System (MESSy) Atmospheric Chemistry (EMAC) model in the specified dynamics mode from December 2008 to August 2018.

Global Civil Aviation Emissions Estimates for 2017–2020 Using ADS-B Data
TL;DR: In this article , the authors developed and evaluated the first such estimate of global emissions from aircraft operations for the years 2017-2020, based on flights registered by networks of aircraft Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) telemetry receivers.
