This paper discusses the possible impacts on stratospheric ozone abundance from the use of large fleets of high speed civil transport (HSCT) aircraft. An assessment is made of the potential impacts of injections of nitrous oxide, sulfur dioxide and water vapor directly into the lower stratosphere. A carbon dioxide increase is also predicted in the future atmosphere when HSCT would be operational. A three-dimensional model is presented for the radiative and dynamic calculations. For the process of aerosol formation, a two-dimensional photochemical model is presented. 24 refs., 24 figs., 4 tabs.
