Wingtip Vortices and Wake Turbulence

Pilot Institute

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. As at higher altitudes, the vortex movement near the ground is affected by crosswinds. Crosswinds can push the downwind vortex into your approach path. Can Wingtip Vortices Be Useful?
