Measuring contrails
Measuring contrails
As part of the A4CLIMATE project, DLR and 17 international collaborators from research and industry are investigating how contrails can be avoided – and how this can reduce the climate impact of aviation. Using DLR’s Falcon 20E research aircraft, contrails are captured and measured directly where they form. The cockpit image of the Falcon 20E shown here depicts a measurement flight behind a TUIfly passenger aircraft.
