Abstract
Emissions from forty-two light aircraft piston engines and twenty-six military gas turbine engines have been measured and documented. Piston engine aircraft were leased from local general aviation suppliers and the engine exhaust emissions tested using a ten mode test cycle during a ground run-up. In addition crankcase ventilation emissions were measured on six engines and mass emission rates were calculated. Exhaust component concentrations and fuel consumption rates were measured at specified engine operating conditions. The exhaust analyzer readings were converted to pollutant concentrations and mass emission rates. The data were analyzed to determine engine-to-engine variations for each model engine, the effect of hot versus cold start, and the role of engine operating parameters. (Author)
