The trend towards smaller engine cores with smaller mass flow rates in the core stream, presents new opportunities for emissions control. We quantify the effects of these trade-offs in terms of emissions reduction and fuel burn increase using representative engine cycle models provided by a major aero-gas turbine manufacturer.
