Not really. Ozone is the primary byproduct of producing a plasma in our atmosphere, and it is really only a problem when it is released at lower altitudes. Releasing it in the upper atmosphere where jets usually cruise would be harmless, if not beneficial to the existing ozone layer.
Not to mention the fact that any byproduct produced by a plasma would be infinitesimal compared to the amount of NOx produced by jet engines.
- sp332 10y agoThe article mentions that plasma also produces a lot of nitrogen ions. Would this increase NOx production?

- aardvark291 10y agoThe ozone layer starts at around 65,000 feet, which is about twice as high as where jets usually cruise.
