The researchers piped the engine’s exhaust into a 7-cubic-meter covered Teflon bag. When the bag was full the researchers uncovered it, allowing sunlight to fire up chemical reactions that would normally occur in the open air.
Within minutes solid particles were generated by interactions between the oily microdroplets and gases. “Driving this chemistry,” Robinson notes, “was hydroxyl radical,” or OH — the oxidant that’s most effective at catalyzing the breakdown of oily hydrocarbons. “To create this hydroxyl radical, you need sunlight,” he explains.
Though jet engines operating at full power produce mostly solid particles, at low engine loads — such as when a plane idles at the gate or on the runway — emissions are predominantly in the form of microscopic droplets.

Yup, those ground level "chemtrails" are nasty alright. That's what the article is talking about.

If you call pollution "chemtrails" you're going to have to start to include buses and trucks (ships too I guess) as "chemtrailers"

They're capturing the microscopic particles in a bag, and letting them experience sunlight, which turns them into the solid particles they'd be in the air - confirming the pollution of the "chemtrail". So in essence, it seems chemtrails are indeed real, whether or not they're on purpose (additives in jet fuel, etc) is another question.
In the first on-tarmac measurements of their kind, researchers have shown that oil droplets spewed by idling jet engines can turn into particles tiny enough to readily penetrate the lungs and brain.

what are the specific additives in aircraft fuel that are not in cars and busses?

Karma is a MF, the people who are loading these chemicals into the jets so they can be sprayed on us are exposed to it themselves probably in higher concentrations.
