Nervous flyers look away now! Severe turbulence on flights to TRIPLE by 2050 due to THIS
Clear air turbulence on commercial planes is due to triple in less than four decades, revealed the research. The study from the University of Reading is the first to analyse the effects of climate change on turbulence. Researchers developed a mathematical model to predict how clear-air turbulence will be impacted by global warming between 2050 […]
