Abstract: Abstract In the present paper the impact of NO X -emissions of aircrafts on ozone is highlighted. The chemical processes of NO X in the troposphere and stratosphere are explained briefly and the formation of NO X under the specific conditions of a scramjet combustor is discussed. Finally a model scramjet combustor with hydrogen injection is investigated numerically using the scientific in-house code TASCOM3D. The results of the simulations demonstrate the formation of NO X in scramjet combustors and are discussed in detail. With regard to the development of NO X reduction strategies further investigations are performed in terms of the variation of the inlet temperature. Variations of other relevant parameters concerning NO X -formation like the equivalence ratio, Mach number at combustor entrance, types of fuel injection, etc. are part of ongoing investigations but will not be discussed in this paper. Finally the performance of the scientific code TASCOM3D on the NEC SX-8 is analyzed.
