It is definetly not listed in my preferred dictionary, but:

-----------
New Search :

contrail

Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary contains 1 item relevant to this
query.

[o] con.trail n [condensation trail] (1943): streaks of condensed water
vapor created in the air by an airplane or rocket at high altitudes
