Did you know that the wingtip vortices fall with about 400 feet per minute? In this short video you can clearly see how the vortices are separating from the condensation trails and starting to fall down. This is why it’s very important to be vigilant when you are crossing below the path of another aircraft who has passed 1000 feet above you a few minutes earlier. If you have ever been flying along as a passenger, and suddenly had a sudden “jolt” from nowhere, this is probably the reason. . . #pi

ELi5 | SM on Instagram: "Wingtip vortices are twisting patterns of air that form at the tips of airplane wings because of how the wing creates lift while moving through the sky. The wing has lower air pressure on top and higher-pressure underneath. This pressure difference makes the air from below try to move toward the top, because air always wants to flow from high pressure to low pressure. Since the air cannot pass through the solid wing, it sneaks around the wingtip. As it moves around the e

A380 Wake encounter Wake turbulence is the disturbed airflow—primarily wingtip vortices—left behind an aircraft, strongest behind heavy, slow, and clean-configured airplanes. It can cause sudden loss of control for following aircraft. A notable accident was American Airlines Flight 587 on November 12 (2001) over Queens NY, where the Airbus A300 encountered wake turbulence from a preceding Boeing 747, contributing to loss of control and the crash. As a result, aviation safety measures were streng
