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 ...

Aviation's climate impact extends beyond carbon dioxide emissions. A new international study, involving researchers from Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg, reveals ...

A new study allays fears that rerouting flights to avoid forming climate-warming contrails could result in inadvertently making climate warming worse. Researchers from Sorbonne Universite and the ...

Contrails in the blue sky remind us of daily air traffic—and its impact on the climate. However, the effect of contrails on the climate is still only partially understood. It is assumed that they have ...

Contrails are clouds made of ice particles, which can be created when airplanes fly through cold, humid air. Persistent contrails are estimated to have a warming climate impact. Flight tests will ...

French carrier Amelia is expanding a trial of contrail-avoidance technology from partners Thales and Breakthrough Energy Contrails (BEC) that has already shown the ability to limit their production ...

ABC News chief meteorologist Ginger Zee explains the science responsible for the appearance of lines in the sky. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are done in 2025 — Here's a look back at the QB's career ...

Researchers at the Institute for Meteorology at Leipzig University have, for the first time, determined the climatic impact of contrails that form within natural cirrus clouds. Contrails account for ...

While some in the industry are already dealing with the practicalities of preventing condensation trails—or contrails—from forming, others are making themselves heard and asking for more research.
