Changing flight paths could slash aviation’s climate impact, study suggests The study, led by researchers at the University of Cambridge, suggests that changing cruising altitude by a few thousand feet, either up or down, could prevent contrails from forming. Reducing or avoi...

Reducing or avoiding #contrail formation in this way would also be faster & cheaper than other #climate mitigation measures for the #aviation industry, since the practice can be adopted with existing #aircraft & fuel

A group of people wearing sports uniforms stands in front of a historic building at Cambridge University. The individuals are aligned in two rows on a grassy area, with the architectural facade prominently visible in the background.

A group of nine individuals wearing matching light blue Cambridge boat team uniforms pose in front of a historic, ornate wooden door set in a stone building. They are positioned in two rows, with some kneeling and others standing. They are all wearing black shorts and boots. The setting appears to be a formal or historic environment.
