ECATS Student Schools
ECATS student schools train the next generation of researchers on the environmental challenges facing aviation, taught directly by the scientists working on them.
Combustion and Alternative Fuels in Aviation
Lectures were given from academia and industry on characteristics of alternative fuels for aviation, emissions and engine compatibility, availability and social issues, economic and environmental drivers and past and future prospects for alternative fuels.
Combustion and Alternative Fuels in Aviation
The school focused on how aviation emissions affect the atmosphere and hence climate. Topics covered emission formation by aircraft engines, chemical and physical processes in the atmosphere, and mechanisms of climate impact. Metrics for quantifying the impact of aviation on climate change and monetisation of such impacts were presented, with mitigation options explained with regards to airframe technology, operational measures and economical measures. The programme was developed by a Programme Committee: Sigrun Matthes, David Lee, Volker Grewe and Ruben de Leon, Martin Hagström and Ivar Isaksen.
Airport Air Quality (Autumn School)
Nearly 20 students attended lectures given not only from within ECATS but also from EUROCONTROL, ENV-ISA and Janicke Consulting. Henry Coanda Airport in Bucharest (Otopeni) supported the training of the students by demonstrating the airport facilities.
