Gas Turbine aero engines have been accepted as minor contributors to global air pollution, yet significant reductions in specific emissions levels have resulted from th establishment of International Standards by the International Civil Aviation Organisation. These Standards have been achieved by engine combustion systems in which sophisticated geometry has been incorporated in mechanically simple combustors. Severe local or national legislation which arbitrarily imposes very low emission levels cannot be complied with by the simple combustors and will require the introduction of combustors of complex and radically new design. Considerable resources would need to be employed to satisfy the airworthiness authorities that the complex combustors and the associated control systems do not introduce an increased risk to airworthiness. It is essential that the international forum of ICAO be used to ensure the maximum compatibility between the safe and orderly development of civil aviation and the quality of the human environment.
