Question

Atmospheric ozone is depleted through catalytic

intervention of nitric oxide, NO. NO emissions in the upper

atmosphere are estimated to be ∼30 g/kg fuel from hightemperature engines, overextended cruise periods. A supersonic transport carries 50,000 kg of fuel at takeoff. Assuming 90% of the fuel is consumed during cruise calculate the

amount of nitric oxide emissions for a round trip flight. Now,

multiply that by 360 round trips per year to estimate the (NO)

pollution (of one aircraft) per year. Finally, what is the environmental impact ofa fleet of 100 aircraft?

IMPACT ON ENVIRONMENT DUE TO FLEET OF 100 AIRCRAFTS
Nitric Oxide emission due to high temperature engines = 30 g/kg (i.e.,0.03kg) of fuel
Fuel carried by a Supersonic Aircraft at take-off = 50000kg 
Given that:
