Wings MagazineThe UK and Google are testing changes to flight paths to tackle aviation's climate impact
Hundreds of commercial flights will be told to change their paths over the northeastern Atlantic Ocean during the next two winters to show how minor altitude adjustments can reduce aviation’s climate impact. The British government is backing the landmark airspace-scale…
A large-scale experiment in the UK is using artificial intelligence (AI) to help aircraft change their flight paths, thereby reducing the formation of condensation trails – a familiar sign of aviation activity but also a contributor to global warming.
A small change in flight altitude can have a significant impact on reducing climate damage. A major test is underway, in which AI will adjust the flight paths of thousands of aircraft so that scientists can measure the real impact of avoiding contrails on the climate.
