an image of a jet streaking across the sky, with contrails being left behind
climate
With MIT AeroAstro, we are developing forecasts and decision support tools to aid air traffic controllers in avoiding the formation of persistent contrails, which are increasingly considered to have a substantial impact on climate warming.

aviation weather
A low-cost technology can increase the number and quality of wind and temperature atmospheric observations made by aircraft to improve forecasts.
A small sensor being adapted for the methane-detecting network
climate
Deploying large networks of ground-based methane detectors could help detect pipeline leaks, improve climate models, and regulate emission sources.
Two photos are shown of the same landscape. The left hand photo shows a clear day, with a mountain in the distance. The right hand side shows a foggy view, with the mountain obscured.
air traffic control
An algorithm uses camera imagery to estimate visibility for pilots flying in remote areas that lack weather sensors.
a screenshot of a user interface shows a world map with radar-like depictions of rain bands, colored blue, green, and yellow.
aviation weather
By compiling lightning data, satellite imagery, and numerical weather models, the GSWR provides radar-like analyses and forecasts over regions not observed by actual weather radars.
A large KC-135R tanker aircraft refuels an F-15 Eagle aircraft while they in mid air.
artificial intelligence
Our model optimizes the scheduling of aerial refueling missions, saving fuel and costs for the Department of Defense.
ACAS-X alerts pilots to nearby traffic and issues actions to avoid collisions with other aircraft.
collision avoidance
A next-generation collision avoidance system will help pilots and unmanned aircraft safely navigate the airspace.
