„Premieră mondială”: IA va ajuta avioanele să evite dârele albe lăsate pe cer, care contribuie la încălzirea climatică

UK scientists will test if AI can help reduce contrails by predicting their formation and guiding planes to avoid these areas. The study, named Operation Blue Skies, involves a £5 million investment and collaboration with Google, the UK government, and several universities. It focuses on the Shanwick oceanic airspace, which contributes significantly to global warming. The project aims to use satellite imagery and flight data to forecast contrail formation, allowing aircraft to adjust altitude slightly to avoid them. Tests are planned for winter evenings in 2026-2028, with minimal impact on flight operations.
