Aircraft wake vortices

Aircraft wake vortices

  • 1 Trailing Vortices of a Transport Aircraft

    An aircraft carried by air always leaves behind it a wake consisting of vortices, the power of which increases with the mass of the aircraft... Numerical simulation of transport aircraft wake vortices

    We were approached by Eurocontrol, the European air traffic control regulating body, who were interested in a specification study of its requirements in terms of aircraft wake vortices. We immediately saw the advantage of collaborating with Onera on this issue, and conversely, Onera was interested in having measuring methods in the aeronautics sector
