Contrails, the thin, white lines of condensation that form behind aircraft at high altitudes, may seem harmless, but they have a significant impact on the Earth's climate. These artificial clouds trap heat in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming. As the aviation industry seeks to reduce its environmental footprint, airlines are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to minimize contrail formation and mitigate their climate impact. This article explores how AI is being used to tackle this issue, the science behind contrails, and the potential benefits for the environment. A high-tech commercial aircraft soaring through the sky with minimal contrails, demonstrating the use of artificial intelligence to optimize flight paths and reduce aviation's environmental footprint. The image represents the future of sustainable aviation through AI-driven contrail mitigation. What Are Contrails and Why Do They Matter? Contrails, short for "condensation trails," form w...
