Keywords: Environment, NOx–emissions, Low NOx flight, Aircraft operation

Modern aero engines have a higher compressor ratio, resulting in a lower fuel consumption and a higher NOx emission level. The effects of these NOx emission levels are investigated for a varying set of cruise flight conditions using the developed Cruise NOx Simulation Model and the results are presented.
