Contrails are formed from the combustion of fossil fuels in the bomber engines produced water vapor and soot particles. At high altitudes (typically above 16,000 feet), the air is extremely cold. The hot, humid engine exhaust mixed with the cold air, causing the water vapor to condense into tiny droplets. These droplets then froze into ice crystals, forming th

These crystals create the visible trails. Depending on atmospheric conditions such as humidity and temperature, contrails may vanish quickly or linger, spreading out to resemble thin, wispy cirrus
