Our E-CONTRAIL project teaser video has been featured in the SESAR 3 JU June newsletter and website, showcasing the project’s innovative approach to using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for the prediction of contrails and aviation induced cloudiness. E-CONTRAIL holds a great potential for reducing aviation’s contribution to climate change and ensuring a sustainable future forContinue reading “E-CONTRAIL teaser video featured in SESAR 3 JU e-news”

Latest paper: “Linear Contrails Detection, Tracking and Matching with Aircraft Using Geostationary Satellite and Air Traffic Data”
We celebrate the publication of this journal paper on Trajectory Optimization and Climate Change led by Rémi Chevallier, industrial PhD student at ENAC – Ecole Nationale de l’Aviation Civile supervised by Daniel Delahaye and Manuel Soler. Abstract Climate impact models of the non-CO2 emissions of aviation are still subject to significant uncertainties. Condensation trails, or contrails, are one of these non-CO2 effects.Continue reading “Latest paper: “Linear Contrails Detection, Tracking and Matching with Aircraft Using Geostationary Satellite and Air Traffic Data””
The E-CONTRAIL project kicks off
The E-CONTRAIL project, an exploratory research funded by the SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking, was launched on 13 June. Coordinated by Carlos III University of Madrid (UC3M) and in partnership with the Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (KTH), the Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy (BIRA), and the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium (RMI), the project aims toContinue reading “The E-CONTRAIL project kicks off”
REFMAP kick-off meeting
Today and yesterday we were in Stockholm attending the REFMAP kick-off meeting. It took place at the KTH (Royal Institute of Technology) campus both online and in person. The REFMAP project is coordinated by Ricardo Vinuesa, from The Linné FLOW Centre at KTH and involves 10 other partners from Cyprus, Czech Republic, Greece, Netherlands, Portugal, SpainContinue reading “REFMAP kick-off meeting”
URJC seminar: Towards a more sustainable future aviation
One of the main challenges for the aerospace sector is to achieve a sustainable future for global air traffic. This is stated in the 2030 Agenda, whose Sustainable Development Goal 13 seeks to take urgent action to combat climate change and its effects. Key to achieving this is mitigating the climate change impacts of theContinue reading “URJC seminar: Towards a more sustainable future aviation”
