flag Modern fuel-efficient commercial aircraft flying at high altitudes create longer-lasting contrails, contributing more to climate change.

flag A study by Imperial College London discovered that modern fuel-efficient commercial aircraft flying at high altitudes create longer-lasting contrails, contributing more to climate change despite emitting less carbon. flag Modern planes designed to fly at higher altitudes to save fuel create more contrails, which trap additional heat in the atmosphere, potentially increasing their warming impact. flag Private jets also produce more contrails than previously thought, adding to concerns about their outsized impact on climate warming.
