Caption

Researchers developed a technique called chemical species tomography that can capture carbon dioxide exhaust from a commercial airplane engine. To image such a large area, the researchers used a 7-m-diameter optical mounting frame (red) located just 3 m from the exit nozzle of the engine. The testing facility is at the Instituto Nacional de Tecnica Aeroespacial (INTA) in Madrid.
