They can also slowly drift from one runway to a nearby parallel or crossing runway.The first series of wake turbulence research flights by NASA Dryden began in late 1969 and continued into 1970. Airspeeds for this series of tests ranged from 130 to 200 knots and separation distances again ranged from 1 to 15 miles.

Wake Turbulence Every effort is made to ensure that the information in this booklet is accurate and up-to-date at the time ... (Thrush Commander) in a wake vortex study conducted by NASA. The strongest -- and most dangerous vortices -- are generated by aircraft that are heavy, are in a clean gear and flaps-up condition, and are flying at slow speeds like those of landing approaches.Wake vortices can cause violent rolling motions and even flip a small aircraft upside down when a pilot trailing a large aircraft flies into the vortices. javascript is enabled. The fundamental underlying wake separations in RECAT Phase II are not defined per wake turbulence category, but actual individual pairs of make-model-series aircraft types (e.g. The PEMS II measures acceleration in the vertical, transverse and longitudinal directions as well as angular rates of pitch, roll, and yaw. But since Small general aviation aircraft like those in the Cessna and Piper general aviation fleets create vortices that are almost undetectable by a trailing aircraft of similar size. The test altitude for all the probes of the second series was 12,500 feet, except for the Cessna flights, which dropped to 9,500 feet. With landing gear down, however, the separation distance had to be increased to six miles, a factor that made the configuration impractical.The study also investigated the use of speed brakes and spoilers to alter the behavior of vortices. The non-planar wing tip is often swept back like a raked wingtip and may also be combined with a winglet.

The FAA's overall plan is to slowly phase in more complex factors to allow reduced wake separation, in order to increase capacity. Research has shown, however, that vortices can also rise during conditions of ambient thermal lifting.Vortices of large aircraft often move laterally at speeds of 2-3 knots when they sink to within 100-200 feet of the ground.In calm wind conditions, vortices created by large aircraft during landing operations can remain for many minutes over the normal touchdown area. 72/6 77 Metcalfe Street Ottawa, Canada.
Wake vortex also did not present a serious problem to trailing aircraft until large, heavy aircraft like the 747s, DC-10s, L-1011s, and C-5s began flying in the late 1960s and early 70s.The flying community had been aware of wake turbulence generated by smaller aircraft for years and accepted it as a factor of flying when the first 707-size jet transports began operating in 1959.
