What kind of plane leave a white trail in the sky?

They are called con-trail or contrails, short for condensation trial, they occur when the warm moist from the jet engines enters in contact with the cold air.Also, contrails can be generated on the wingtips, when the air flows over the wing, it travels further and therefore it speed up, causing the pressure drop, wich will cause any water vapor suspended in the air to condensate and form into a cloud.

What are contrails and how do they form?

Contrails are the white, cloudlike trails left behind jets flying in the sky. They form when water vapor, a byproduct of the combustion taking place in the jet engines, condenses into water droplets (or ice crystals, if the temperature is low enough) after it has cooled down from the colder temperature high in the sky. This is similar to how clouds form.
