contrails

Carbon cycle benefits of SAF are known, but will it help reduce the formation of persistent contrails? A Boeing and NASA flight test looks to find out.

U.S. Energy Department’s advanced project agency launches aircraft contrail avoidance and high-energy battery projects.

Predicting contrail cirrus; Autonomy proving ground; eVTOL river crossing; Electric regional seaplane.

Teams led by Boeing, GE, Northrop Grumman and RTX are among those to receive funding to develop tools to mitigate contrail-related climate forcing.

Enabling contrail avoidance; hybrid regional demonstrator; next-generation HAPS; and quantum computing for R&D.
