cloud can reach the altitudes of air traffic
routes and threaten the safety of aircrafts. If an airplane flies through a
volcanic cloud, the volcanic ash can reduce significantly the visibility and
damage airframes, especially aero-engines. This might imply loss of
operability, reduction of engine performance and reduced component lifetime.
The entity of the damage is function of several
