Preface

*Environmental Impact of Aviation and Sustainable Solutions* is a compilation of review and research articles in the broad field of aviation and the environment. It is divided into three sections.

The first section contains four chapters that provide a state-of-the-art review of aircraft structural designs and materials for contributing towards environmentally responsible aviation.

In the second section, five chapters cover topics ranging from combustor modeling, atomization, and airport pollution to mitigation of sonic boom and street noise pollution in the vicinity of the airport.

In the third section, two chapters describe emission mitigation strategies, while the last chapter of the book describes the contributions of Russian aviation pioneer Robert Bartini whose designs could be considered as environmentally desirable.

This book discusses a wide variety of topics related to environmental impact of aviation and some suggestions to reduce the aviation industry's adverse impacts. It serves as a useful reference for both researchers and students interested in learning about various aspects of aviation and the environment as well as potential solutions to reduce negative environmental impacts.
