Q

What are the factors which effect Wing Tip Vortices and what reduces them?

A
  • Pressure differential between the upper and lower surfaces of the wing
  • Amount of time the driving force has to act on the air mass

To reduce Wing Tip Vortices:

  • Higher speed
  • Increase Aspect Ratio
  • Reduce the amount of lift being produced
  • Deploy Flaps
