I caught the C-5M Super Galaxy taking off from RAF Mildenhall - and the wake vortex it left behind was absolutely insane. In this video, I share the full takeoff footage of this massive aircraft ...

Haueter wanted to see if the wake vortex created from a nearby Delta 727 may have caused Flight 427 to go out of control. At the FAA Test Center in Atlantic City, he designed a test to be done ...

US investigators believe wake turbulence from a landing Airbus A320 caused a trailing Cirrus SR22 to suffer a fatal in-flight upset on approach to Knoxville’s McGhee Tyson airport.

For a wake vortex to potentially descend over 1000 ft., the generating aircraft must be heavy to produce a strong initial descent rate. This is more likely to happen with an aircraft whose takeoff ...

Aircraft wake vortex dynamics encompass the study of the vortical patterns generated by an aircraft during flight, which have significant implications for aviation safety and airport capacity.

Conclusions from the work will be used to determine optimal angles of flap deflection to reduce the intensity of wake vortex on approach. “Reducing the wake vortex from the aircraft will make it ...

An in-depth research report titled An Improved Understanding of En-Route Wake Vortex Encounters, conducted by the engineering department at the Delft University of Technology and Eurocontrol ...
