This long-lived vortex pair constitutes a potential risk to following aircraft. The proper prediction of wake vortex drift, descent, and decay and the resulting minimum separations between consecutive ...

Aircraft wake vortices are swirling air patterns created behind an aircraft as it moves through the air. These vortices can pose significant safety risks during takeoff and landing, particularly ...

Of the two, wingtip vortices are more stable and can remain ... creating vibrations throughout the aircraft. Wake turbulence ...
