Summarizing and Interpreting Aircraft Gaseous and Particulate Emissions Data

Substantial gaseous and particulate emissions data have been obtained from in-service aircraft in the series of APEX 1-3 and Una-Una, collected at a cost of almost $4 million. The current volume of data is so extensive that additional interpretation is required in order for it to be used appropriately by the airport community and general public. The objective of this research is to present and interpret the previously obtained APEX 1-3 and Una-Una data sets, when available, in a comprehensive report that summarizes this data in a format that is understandable and usable to the airport community and general public.
