Gas turbine engine emissions—Problems, progress and future

The current status of the problem of gas turbine engine emissions is reviewed. Presently promulgated EPA standards and their implications for aircraft gas turbines are discussed. The progress and status of emissions reduction technology programs and other efforts which have emphasized advanced combustor technology are reviewed in detail. Also examined are those efforts underway to determine the emissions floor and incorporate those techniques into practical combustors of the future.
