Cover Story: Civil aircraft engine design trends are currently focused on improving the overall efficiency by increasing the operating pressure ratio (OPR) and the turbine inlet temperature (TIT). This reduces the amount of fuel burn, and, hence, CO2 emissions, but increases NOx and non-volatile particulate (nvPM) emissions. This study investigates the overall impact of engine core design trends on the climate, considering the effects of CO2, NOx, nvPM, and water vapor. A subset of A320 flights over Europe and North America was selected. The analysis shows an increasing climate impact trend (namely, an increasing average temperature response over 100 years) with an increase in the OPR. The impact is dominated by contrails, due to the flights’ geographical location and altitude. View this paper
