About Us

Nexus Lab is a contrail reduction software company founded in 2022 with a clear goal - to mitigate the greenhouse effect and promote a more sustainable future. By utilizing cutting-edge machine learning techniques on satellite imagery, flight trafic data and meteorological parameters, we aim to significantly reduce the impact of contrails on the environment. We develop a product that helps airline companies to become more greener.

What are Contrails?

Contrails, short for "condensation trails," are visible cloud-like trails that form behind aircraft as a result of the water vapor and other emissions released by their engines. When aircraft engines burn fuel, they produce water vapor and exhaust gases, including carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur compounds, and small particles. In certain atmospheric conditions, typically at high altitudes where the air is cold and humid, the water vapor in the engine exhaust condenses into tiny ice crystals or water droplets, forming contrails. Contrails have negative implications primarily in terms of their impact on climate. When contrails form, they can contribute to the formation of cirrus clouds, which have a warming effect on the atmosphere.

Environmental Studies

Global Warming

Studies prove that the global warming potential of contrails is five times that of carbon dioxide.

How Does Nexus Work?

Contrail Prediction

We use machine learning on satellite, flight, and meteorological data to predict contrails formation zones.

Routes Optimization

Based on the predicted contrail formation zones, the optimal routes are proposed.

Pilot Decision

Pilot chooses the best options among proposed routes and send request to air trafic control.

Flight Adjustment

Based on air traffic control permission, the flight adjustment is made on altitude or airways.
