Abstract

Particulate matter emissions from aircraft engines is the issue increasingly discussed among researchers active in the field of ecology of aviation. This fact is mainly caused by negative effects of particulate matter on human health and the latest research results, which indicate that the particle matter emitted from aircraft engines are characterized by very small dimensions. The article presents the results of studies conducted to determine the effect of oil additive to fuel on particle matter size distribution. It was found that the addition of oil reduces the concentration of PN with the increase of thrust of the jet engine. There was no significant effect of oil additive on the size distribution of particles.
