Abstract
Environmental issues, such as noise and exhaust gas emissions, will have a major impact upon the design and development of future-generation aircraft propulsion systems. The key objective of the European aero-engine industry is to strengthen competitiveness whilst ensuring that sustainable market growth is achieved with due consideration to environmental and safety issues. For this aim to be achieved, future aircraft gas turbine engines must provide increasing cycle performance at reduced weight (i.e. increased thrust-to-weight ratio) in order to minimise fuel consumption and consequently reduce emissions of greenhouse gasses. It is therefore vitally important that the European aero-engine industry is able to optimise its research and technology resources through an integrated approach.
