Default Vapour trails

Hello,

Question from a complete landlubber.

I work outdoors beneath the flightpath to Edinburgh Airport.

I take it that vapour trails are the condensed water contained in the
air ingested by the engines. My question is, how much air does an engine
ingest at cruise? How would you visualise that amount of air?

Yours in amazement at how you stay aloft,

Michael
