What is airplane smoke trail called?
Contrails
What is the mission of the airplanes that leave contrails?
To be an airplane with jet engines? All jet airplanes leave contrails.
What are jet contrails?
Jet contrails are water condensation resulting from the rapid compression and decompression of the air around the wing as the airplane moves through the atmosphere. The atmospheric conditions have to be just right for contrails to occur, and that is why you sometimes see contrails seem to wink off and on, as the airplane passes through drier air the contrails will stop.
What is an airplane smoke trail called?
Contrails or condensation trails
What types of planes leave contrails?
Any kind of powered airplane can leave contrails under the proper condition. Rocket planes always leave contrails. Jets usually leave contrails but may not if the atmospheric conditions are not right. Even internal combustion engine planes can leave contrails if they operate at very high altitude and the atmospheric conditions are just right.

What forms contrail clouds?
Contrails are formed from the moisture in the exhaust of an airplane. The moisture condenses or crystallizes to form a visible cloud.
What Airplane has large satellite on top?
Is a weather airplane
Can we see contrail in all aircrafts?
Not all the time BUT All aircraft can make Contrails that we can see. The weather conditions have to be just right.
What does the cloud name contrails mean?
Contrails is a shortening of condensation trails.
What can you infer about the height at which jet airplanes fly based on the fact that their con trails form cirrus clouds?
Airplane's contrails do not form clouds; they dissipate soon after they are formed.
What is the classification for the contrials cloud?
Misspelled it: It's contrail clouds. They're in family A, high altitude clouds. Contrails are made from either airplane exhaust or wingtip vortexes. Wingtip vortexes are essentially a drop in air pressure during flight, which causes a temperature change, which causes mositure to condense. That all leads to contrails. Airplane exhaust simply condenses to form clouds. Contrail clouds last long after the plane has left.
What are contrails?
contrails are "clouds" formed by the hot, humid air from plane/jet engines which mixes with water vapor high in the sky, then turning into ice crystals which then create contrails.
