Aviation's climate impact extends beyond carbon dioxide emissions. A new international study, involving researchers from ...

Modern aircraft are producing longer-lasting contrails that warm the planet faster than those created by older aircraft, presenting a "double whammy" for the aviation industry's carbon reduction ...

Contrails — the white line-shaped clouds left behind by planes — pose a particular problem as they are able to trap heat. Julian Stratenschulte/dpa Passenger aircraft contribute significantly to ...

Aviation is responsible for about 2.5 percent of global CO2 emissions, but its overall contribution to climate change is higher because of non-CO2 impacts such as contrails. New aircraft may be ...

Modern commercial aircraft flying at high altitudes create longer-lived planet-warming contrails than older aircraft, a new study has found. The result means that although modern planes emit less ...

A new study (ECLIF3) found that using 100 percent Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) can significantly reduce both aircraft carbon footprints and the climate impact of contrails. Test flights ...

We’ve all seen those white streaks trailing behind jets, creating stripes against the blue sky. The lines are called contrails, short for condensation trails, and they appear when water vapor ...

Modern commercial aircraft flying at high altitudes create longer-lived contrails than older aircraft, according to new research based on machine learning analysis of satellite data on contrails over ...

A Boeing 747 that functions as GE Aerospace’s Flying Test Bed sat on the runway towering over NASA Langley Research Center’s G-III aircraft at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton on Monday, Nov.

It's no secret that the world is facing a climate crisis, and that businesses are looking at ways to limit their carbon footprint, in a bid to help lower greenhouse gas emissions amid the harsh ...
