Description

High-resolution 3D inventories of future hypersonic transport (HST) are compiled for the year 2075, integrating the gaseous engine emissions of a fleet of 200 hydrogen-powered Mach 8 passenger aircraft*. These aircraft are operated once a day for 360 days on a reference route from Brussels (BRU) to Sydney (MYA) with either NOx-optimized (ICA**: 114 000 ft; 34.75 km) or H2O-optimized (ICA**: 107 500 ft; 32.77 km) flight profiles, derived to minimize environmental impacts in terms of total emissions. The emissions are spatially gridded at a horizontal resolution of 1° in longitude and latitude, with a vertical resolution of 1000 ft, and are temporally accumulated on an annual basis. Note that the 3D emission inventories encompass detailed data on species-specific HST emissions, fuel burn, and total distance traveled: 

  • Species: NO, H2O; H2
  • Temporal information: 2075; annually
  • Spatial information: 1° x 1° x 1000 ft
  • Data Format: NetCDF

*  The hypersonic aircraft concept under consideration is the STRATOFLY-MR3 vehicle, which was conceptually developed in
    the framework of the H2020 STRATOFLY project.
