The Contrail Mitigation Potential of Aircraft Formation Flight Derived from High-Resolution Simulations

Formation flight is one potential measure to increase the efficiency of aviation. Flying in the upwash region of an aircraft’s wake vortex field is aerodynamically advantageous. It saves fuel and concomitantly reduces the carbon foot print. However, <inline-formula><math display="inlin...
