New study analysing feasibility and cost of contrail avoidance in commercial flight planning
According to previous publications, adjusting the routes of a small fraction of airline flights could significantly reduce global warming. But our new study shows that these adjustments might also be quite economical. This article published in Environmental Research: Infrastructure and Sustainability has been written by Alejandra Martín Frías as part of her industrial PhD, inContinue reading “New study analysing feasibility and cost of contrail avoidance in commercial flight planning”
