Technical Challenges of Low Emissions and Fuel Flexible Combustors

 

Abstract

Currently combustion task of NASA Fundament Aeronautics Program is to develop a low emissions combustor capable of meeting the Landing and Take-Off (LTO) NOx emissions reduction goal while contributing to the achievement of the fuel burn goal and without negatively impacting other emissions. The low emissions combustor should be capable of meeting the N+2 LTO NOx goal of 75% reduction from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standard adopted at Committee on Aviation Environmental

Protection (CAEP 6) and with 50% fuel burn reduction and -42dB noise reduction simultaneous.
