Evaluating Fuel-Climate Tradeoffs in Contrail Avoidance
Contrails, the line-shaped clouds that can form behind airplanes, have been estimated to be a major contributor to aviation-induced climate change. Operational contrail avoidance via flight re-routing may be an effective and efficient mitigation approach due to the geometry of contrail-forming regio...
