What do you call an airplane smoke trail?

It is called a contrail. The 'con' in contrail is derived from condensation, because mostly, airplane vapour or 'smoke' trails are made of water. Concorde's contrail was the purest with something like 99% of it being water at cruising altitude. As the air is accelerated over the wing, the water vapour present in the ambient air can't stay suspended so it condenses, forming a long thin 'cloud'.
