◉ Wingtip Vortices
Answer: The rapidly rotating air that spills over an airplane's wings
during flight. The intensity of the turbulence depends on the
airplane's weight, speed, and configuration. Also referred to as wake
turbulence. Vortices from heavy aircraft may be highly hazardous to
small aircraft.

is decreased.
