We've all looked up the sky and seen commercial aircraft flying overhead, leaving what looks like clouds in the sky, a phenomenon called contrails. NASA has published a new study in cooperation with ...

EVERETT, Wash. — Scientists with Boeing and NASA are working together to learn more about the effects of aviation contrails on the environment. Contrails, short for condensation trails, are the lines ...

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.

Cleaner-burning jet fuels made from sustainable sources can produce 50%-70% fewer ice crystal contrails at cruising altitude, reducing aviation’s impact on the environment, according to research ...

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 ...

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 ...

NASA and GE Aerospace will evaluate aircraft wake scanning technology during flight tests starting Nov. 18, as part of efforts to improve the industry’s understanding of contrails—thought to be a key ...

Cleaner-burning sustainable fuels can reduce aircraft contrail cloudiness and their contribution to aviation’s climate impact, joint research by NASA and German aerospace center DLR has concluded.

IN THE SKIES OVER MONTANA ― It was a six hour flight that officially didn't go anywhere, but could help usher in a new chapter of aviation sustainability. A high altitude series of science experiments ...
