However, its environmental footprint continues to grow alongside the expanding popularity of aviation. By analyzing a decade-long dataset, the novelty of this research lies in delving into the relationship between aircraft age and major aviation emissions, such as hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen oxides (NOx), during landing and take-off (LTO) operation using advanced machine learning algorithms. The analysis of this research comprises three horizons. Firstly, an inventory of aircraft emissions was constructed by analyzing aircraft fleet data at Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) in Jordan. Secondly, the correlation between these emissions and aircraft age was rigorously examined. Finally, predictive models for aircraft age were developed based on pollutant emission features using advanced machine learning algorithms. The findings of the study revealed a discernible impact of aircraft age on emissions, underscoring the importance of considering the aging factor in assessing the environmental implications of aviation. The machine learning models exhibited a capacity to forecast pollutant emissions with a notable degree of accuracy, with a Mean Squared Error (MSE) of about 3.0931. This offers valuable perspectives that can enhance comprehension of aviation’s environmental footprint.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nThe aviation industry plays a pivotal role in global connectivity and transportation, yet its environmental footprint is a subject of increasing concern (Quadros et al. 2020). As aviation continues to burgeon, it becomes imperative to comprehensively grasp the implications of aircraft emissions on environmental issues, such as global warming, and the well-being ","cbCairFW3s7xHQSZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairFW3s7xHQSZ","pdf",1751831,1,12,"English","en",105,"# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Environmental concerns of aircraft emissions\n## NOx formation and health impacts\n## NOx chemistry and secondary pollutants\n## Hydrocarbons (HC) as an aviation-related pollutant","[{\"question\":\"What emissions and operational phase does the study focus on?\",\"answer\":\"The study focuses on hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) during landing and take-off (LTO) operations.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the emissions inventory constructed in this research?\",\"answer\":\"An inventory of aircraft emissions is constructed by analyzing aircraft fleet data at Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) in Jordan.\"},{\"question\":\"What modeling approach is used to predict aircraft age from emissions features?\",\"answer\":\"Advanced machine learning algorithms develop predictive models for aircraft age based on pollutant emission features.\"}]","Aging Aircraft and Emissions: Machine Learning Predictions in Takeoff and Landing Operations -
