American Airlines participates in first-of-its-kind research on contrail avoidance

Source: American Airlines American Airlines announced today the findings of a first-of-its-kind study on contrail avoidance, with results verified by satellite imagery, aimed at reducing aviation’s environmental impact. Contrails form when airplanes fly through layers of humidity, and they can persist as cirrus clouds for minutes or hours depending on the conditions. While these extra clouds can reflect sunlight back into space during the day, certain contrails can trap heat within the Earth’s atmosphere at night.

The team then determined whether pilots could avoid making contrails in flight when supplied with [...]
