Project Number: 002
Category: Combustion Products
The research team with the guidance of specialists at various original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) propose to make high priority ground-based field measurement campaigns of nvPM and combustion gas products from engines on a commercial widebody transport, a business jet aircraft, and a new technology combustor burning both conventional fuels and candidate SAF. Project planning for these tests is highly dependent on the fuel and asset availability. This ASCENT project allows for flexibility required to take advantage of assets and fuel availability opportunities as they become available and enables FAA, scientists, and industrial partners to coordinate effectively and deliver results in a timely manner.
This project is a continuation of ASCENT Project 2, 81, and 87.
