Airlines have tamped down on carbon emissions by flying planes at higher altitudes. But this comes at a cost: the higher-flying aircraft are creating more contrails that last longer, worsening the ...

Those wispy white lines that crisscross the skies after an aeroplane flies overhead are far less benign than their fluffy patterns might suggest. Until now governments and industry have firmly focused ...

Contrails from airplanes are a major source of global warming—but they’re also one climate problem that AI can help quickly reduce. The thin white clouds that often linger behind airplanes—contrails, ...

In the skies over Hampton Roads it is common to see contrails, cloud-like strips of condensed water left behind by aircrafts at high altitude. Some dissipate within minutes, but depending on the ...

American Airlines published the first findings in a study by Google Research and Breakthrough Energy on contrail avoidance to help understand how to reduce air travel’s environmental impact this week.

Aviation's climate impact is partly due to contrails—condensation that a plane streaks across the sky when it flies through icy and humid layers of the atmosphere. Contrails trap heat that radiates ...

It would be easy to assume that the commercial aviation industry's fuel consumption was its biggest impact on the environment. For example, a Boeing 737-800 burns about 5,000 pounds of fuel an hour in ...

Contrails — those lines of wispy white clouds that follow some jets — may not be so harmless. Airlines and scientists are coming to a consensus that the water vapor trails created by airplanes at high ...
