Indian Aviation –The Road Ahead With Europe facing mild recession and the US showing signs of recovery, the impact on aviation is likely to be felt even in India. However steps are being taken to counter these external forces to ensure the Indian Aviation growth trajectory remains on course. ransport is a major driver of economy. The linkage between civil aviation sector and economic activity and its catalytic impact on Tgeneral development is now well recognised. The ICAO estimated that $100 spent on air transport produce benefits worth $325 for the economy and 100 additional jobs in air transport result in 610 new economy wide jobs. The ICAO study attributes over 4.5% of global GDP (Continued on page 04) 011 STUDYING THE WAY WINDS SWIRL GAVE OUR DESIGNERS AN IDEA FOR LOWERING EMISSIONS. How do you reduce NOx emissions? The answer was blowing in the wind. Observing the way winds swirl, CFM* designers were inspired to create the Twin-Annular Pre-Swirl combustor. A radical new technology that lowers NOx by 50% compared to current CAEP (Committee on Aviation Environment Protection) limits. It’s one of a thousand and one breakthroughs in our new LEAP engine.
