Avoiding contrail-inducing areas by rerouting flights is too time consuming for use in regular airline operations, German study concludes. Graham leads Aviation Week's coverage of technology, focusing ...

Contrails, vapour clouds from plane exhaust, contribute significantly to global warming, possibly 30-65% of aviation's impact, especially in colder regions at higher altitudes. Singapore's Aviation ...

Contrails – short for condensation trails – are linear clouds made up of ice crystals that form behind jet aircraft at high altitudes. These artificial cirrus clouds are formed when hot and moist ...

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 ...

How can an aircraft’s contrails, which are artificial ice clouds formed from hot engines and cold altitudes, contribute to climate change? This is what a recent study published in Nature ...

Aviation’s climate impact extends beyond carbon dioxide emissions. A new study from Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, and Imperial College, UK, reveals that ...

ABC News chief meteorologist Ginger Zee explains the science responsible for the appearance of lines in the sky. Donald Trump issues new warning on looming Supreme Court decision Teens arrested in ...

German researchers have begun a series of flights to measure the contrails produced by the latest-generation engines as part of a wider project tackling aviation’s non-CO2 impacts. Led by Germany’s ...

Some contrails can contribute to global warming. Contrails—pure ice clouds (“cirrus”) that form from aircraft exhaust under specific cold conditions—can trap heat in the atmosphere, sometimes creating ...

One of the most exciting companies in the microbrand space today is Nodus. Not only does the Los Angeles-based brand — which designs, assembles and regulates all its watches in-house — produce some of ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Contrails — the white line-shaped clouds left behind by planes — pose a particular problem as they are able to trap heat. Julian ...
