This condensation phenomenon, contrail, occurs when areas of low pressure develop on the wing surface; the air cools by expansion in the slowly moving boundary layer in contact with the wing. The depth of the b oundary layer and the drop in pressure both increase with increasing air speed, but each depends very closely on the aerodynamic qualities of the wing. An excellent photograph of one such disk. produced by a Canberra jet was taken on February 4', 1956, along the coast of Africa near Accra on a morning when the condensation phenom- occurred several times during air maneuvers. The weather was fine, the sky clou dless with a few patches of haze over the sea, and "isibility was more than eight miles. During the display the air speed of the jets was usually too low or the air too dry for the aura to form. "But over the cliff edge where the sea-breeze w as just beginning to break through in patches the air would be moist enough to condense about 1 Y2 gpl. of w ater droplets in each cubic metre of air, quite sufficient to produce the observed effect. The effect is increased by higher speeds at the end of a dive (when the angle of incidence of the aerofoil is least ) . . . but it is likely that the patchy onset of the sea-breeze was the most important con- tributing factor.
