Reduced Environmental Impact of Aviation through the Technological
Advancement of the Turbo Jet Engines
Introduction
This article is focused on technological improvements caused by advancements in
Aviation. Article will assess how promising are the technological developments in
technology while promoting a sustainable as well as environmentally aware aviation industry.
Aviation operations considerably impacts the environment mainly because of the
aircraft and turbojet engines emitting harmful gases, noise, and particulates that significantly
contribute to climate change as well as global warming (Dimitriou & Voskaki, 2010). In
addition, the quick growth of air travel in modern years subsidizes to an upsurge in whole
pollution attributable to global aviation industry. Hence, the article presents how the
technological advancements of the turbojet engines have condensed the environmental
impacts caused from aviation (Agarwal, 2012). As it is well-aware that aviation cause the
major pollution through CO2 emissions hence the main technological developments of
mitigating environmental impacts consists of measures of reducing these emissions to a large
extent (Bass & Dalal-Clayton, 2012). In this context, technology has optimized turbojet
engines’ efficiency, and air-routes, invented bio-fuels as well as improved jet functioning
processes which has ultimately reduced eco-logical impacts of aviation (Dincer, Colpan, &
Kadioglu, 2013). In this way, a detailed discussion over affected environment and improved
environment with the use of technological advancements within the field of jet engines
evolution is taking place. In order to evaluate how the technology has contributed into
minimizing environmental impacts of turbojet engines the article is going to critically analyse
mitigating effects of aviation through advanced technology (Blewitt, 2008).

Environmental Impacts of Turbo Jet Engines operations
Here, research over the aviation industry to find its likely impacts to environment has
been conducted. In this context, 3 major types of pollution caused by turbojet engines include
noise pollution, gaseous emissions and discharge of particles into the air. Out of above three
types, gaseous emissions are the most dangerous kind of pollution which airline enterprises
require to control (Upham, Janet, & David, 2009). While researching over the issue, it has
been found that people, who are living near airports and air-craft stations, are having the
minimal knowledge on the presence of particle emissions through turbojet engines of aircrafts
(Gonzalez, Duque, & Restrepo, 2017).
In addition, gaseous emissions include C0x, N0x and S0x compounds have been
comprehensively founded as the pollutants of aviation by the scientists and aviation experts
(Kilkis, 2016). Hence, affected environment has further segregated into following three
segments:
Noise
At a native level, noise pollution seems to be the major issue in the previous 20 years.
Additionally, major impacts of noise and waste are seen in the nearby places of airports
(Casalino, Diozzi, Sannino, & Paonessa, 2009). In this context, people who have stayed for a
