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 are the streams that jet planes leave in the sky?

The streams that jet planes leave in the sky are called contrails. Contrails form when the hot, moist exhaust from the airplane engines mixes with the cold air at high altitudes, causing the water vapor to condense into ice crystals. Contrails can sometimes linger in the sky for a while, creating long white streaks behind the plane.


What is the mission of the airplanes that leave contrails?

What are the trails planes leave behind?

Contrails are just condensation from the hot gases leaving the engine of the plane interacting with the cold air in the upper atmosphere.


What ae those airplanes that fly way above the other planes these planes leave trails?

The airplanes you’re referring to are likely high-altitude jets, such as commercial airliners or military aircraft, that fly at cruising altitudes typically between 30,000 and 40,000 feet. The trails they leave behind are called contrails, which form when water vapor in the aircraft's exhaust condenses and freezes in the cold atmosphere at high altitudes. These contrails can sometimes spread out and contribute to cloud formation.

Are the planes that leave trails in the sky b-52?

Almost all aircraft flying in the high, cold sky leave contrails. These are trails of hot air from engines running in very cold air. In World War 2 the bombers going up high in early mornings left very visible trails.


What kind of plane leaves vapor trail?

Planes that fly at high altitudes, typically commercial jets, leave vapor trails, also known as contrails. These trails are composed of water vapor, created when hot exhaust gases combine with cold, humid air in the atmosphere.


What is the name of the white trails that jets leave behind?

Does government have anything to do with the white smoke planes leave behind?

Their are people that believe that the contrails left by aircraft are some government conspiracy but this is not the case. They are simply water vapor trails. They are triggered by the water vapor in the exhaust of aircraft engines or changes in air pressure over the wings surface.


Do airplane contrails affect the weather?
