RESEARCH BRIEFINGS 01 April 2026 The contrail clouds formed by jet engines contribute to global warming. In-flight measurements of the particles emitted and contrails produced by a passenger jet show that contrails are formed through different mechanisms, depending on the soot-emission level and the fuel composition, potentially reshaping our understanding of the climate impact of aviation. This is a summary of: Voigt, C. et al . Substantial aircraft contrail formation at low soot emission levels.
