2. BACKGROUND
• Increasing Pressure from European society to improve the
environmental performance of aviation
• reduction of fuel consumption and gaseous
emission (ACARE Vision 2020)
• European research initiatives – CLEAN SKY
– ‐30% fuel consumption
– ‐40% CO2
– ‐53% NOx
• Those reductions are not achievable by Turbine engines
• Substitution of Turbine engine by Diesel Engine Technology 2
