They're called Cirrus Aviaticus. But technically there's very little difference between natural cirrus and Cirrus Aviaticus. They're both just clouds of ice particles.

There's a picture floating around that I'll try to find in a little bit that shows it perfectly. There's an Airbus, I think an A330, with the newer engines leaving a contrail, with a 707, with the older engines, flying right next to it, with no contrail.

That would explain a lot Zaph, Thanks.
I had never heard of this explanation, but I have witnessed this very event several times over the last decade or 2.
What exactly is being bypassed in these newer engines? Fuel?

The first persistent contrail was reported in 1918. That would mean they were already spraying us back then if persistent contrails aren't possible.
Why can I not enjoy a single day of sunshine without this blanket of film, stemming from commercial airlines, blotting out the sun? I remember one in recent years because I was floored.
Doesn't anyone miss that?
Contrails are just cirrus clouds…
