Air Traffic Control

Airfoil

Wingtip Vortices and Wake Turbulence

Pilot Institute

MARCH 28, 2025

When air flows over the aircraft wing, the shape of the airfoil creates low pressure above the wing and relatively higher pressure below the wing. Air Traffic Control uses this classification to separate aircraft and ensure that their wake turbulence does not affect other aircraft. How Are Wingtip Vortices Formed?
