Abstract:The global commercial aircraft fleet currently numbers about 10,000 and flies several billion kilometers per year while burning more than 100 MT of fuel per year at high temperatures producing mostly water and CO2. However, NOx (=NO+NO2), other minor gaseous species, organic aerosols from unburnt fuel and soot and ions are also injected at cruise altitudes located in upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UT/LS), a region particularly sensitive to atmospheric climate change.
