One of the biggest causes of climate change remains the airline industry. Now, AI is working to help. Traveling by air is a significant cause of pollution, largely because of jet fuel but also because ...

American Airlines and Google said Thursday that they significantly reduced the climate impact of some of the airline's flights using an AI-based forecasting tool to help prevent contrails. When ...

Four research figures show how contrails appear in two satellite views (left) and two photographs taken from the MIT Green Building. Aviation’s climate impact is partly due to contrails — condensation ...

Contrails, short for condensation trails, are the white streaks often seen in the sky behind aircraft. The International ...
