Good afternoon all,
In this day and age of EPA, pollution control, green earth, etc., I wondered about the viability of an exhaust catalyst in an aircraft application. Are there any reasons not to use a catalytic converter in this capacity? Weight? Exhaust restrictions? Other?
Weight and exhaust restriction are the start of it. I believe the rest is that there is not much payoff. The cat gets the most payoff during hard accelerations, which you do a lot of in a car. Not so much in a plane.
