An extreme example of the impact of wake turbulence is from 2018 flight QF94 from Los Angeles to Melbourne. The aircraft entered a vortex, causing it to enter into a nosedive for 10 sec.

One example that shows why wake turbulence is taken so seriously concerns a Bombardier Challenger 604 jet which had the misfortune of flying within 1,000 vertical feet of an Airbus A380.

Dr. Carlo Scalo and and a team at Purdue University developed a way to use supercomputers to efficiently simulate vortex flow phenomena inherent to wake turbulence encounters. Purdue University ...

Aircraft generate wake just like boats do in the water. Unlike the water, you can't see wake in the air but should always anticipate it. [Credit: Shutterstock] “Caution, wake turbulence.” This ...

Clear-air turbulence is harder to detect, more dangerous, and according to new research, it's becoming more frequent as the ...

Scientists at the University of Stuttgart's Institute of Aerodynamics and Gas Dynamics (IAG) have produced a novel dataset ...

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.

Heavy Is A Warning About The Intense Turbulence Left In An Aircraft's Wake When a pilot says "heavy," they're telling air traffic control that they're piloting a large plane that's creating a very ...

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.

This time ensures the wake turbulence to dissipate and 'roll' away from our take-off track," the pilot said. The plane in the aforementioned video was following a medium type aircraft.
