FIG. 3 Organic PM mass loadings for the two representative aircraft engines: (a) RB211–535E4-B and (b) CJ6108A. Data are shown as “stacked plots” so that the total of the individual factors can be compared directly with the total organic PM loading measured by the AMS. (Color figure available online.)
