Exhaust Trail

</dt>
A condensation trail that forms when the water vapor of an aircraft exhaust is mixed with and saturates (or slightly supersaturates) the air in the wake of the aircraft. Exhaust trails are of more common occurrence and of longer duration than aerodynamic trails. Also called engine-exhaust trail. [[/a>|/a> ]]
