Abstract
Last century has been the most revolutionary in the aviation sector. But the environment is badly affected due to emissions from the gas turbine engines. In addition to the CO2 released by most jet engines in flight through the burning of fuels, the aviation industry also contributes greenhouse gas emissions from ground airport vehicles and those used by passengers and staff to access airports. While the principal greenhouse gas emission from powered aircraft in flight is CO2, other emissions may include nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide, water vapor and particulates (soot and sulphate particles), sulphur oxides, carbon monoxide, (UHC)
unburned hydrocarbons. Furthermore, several researchers are investigating novel combustor designs to cut down the emissions from the gas turbine.
