the wing flap) rather than wingtip vortices. In Wikipedia, the expression trailing vortices redirects to wingtip vortices. Do other Users feel there are...

this page be merged into Wingtip vortices. Wake turbulence is an effect that deserves its own article, but wingtip vortices are only an (admittedly large)...

drag caused by wingtip vortices" - Vortices do not impact the lift-induced drag, they are a result of it. See McLean, Doug (2005). Wingtip Devices: What...

they're used for showing the airflow produced by a moving object, such a wingtip vortices. They were obviously launched from a separate plane, or else the smoke...

flow in the downwash between the wingtip vortices is exactly matched by the mass flow in the upwash outside these vortices so there is no redistribution...

the lift-induced drag caused by wingtip vortices, improving lift-to-drag ratio. Turning to Wingtip vortices we find the statement "air flows from below...

explanation of the ground effect, specially what it says about vortices, is erroneus: "Wingtip vortices destroy massive amounts of the lift generated by the wing...

citation about it: "Wingtip vortices are sometimes described as a component of induced drag, however this is incorrect. Though wingtip vortices do cause some...

little or no significant lift or flight benefit from following the wingtip vortices. Not to mention that some species do not maintain such even formations...

usually only visible around aircraft near the ground can be caused by wingtip vortices from the wings (or propellers) of aircraft. These short contrails extend...

DESPITE its aspect ratio is that the rotating vortices from the propellors actively cancel the wingtip vortices shed by the wing (the propellers rotate anti-clockwise...

out around the blade tips, thus causing or increasing wingtip vortices: allowing those vortices to increase for a constant loading involves greater spillage...

interactions) and, most significantly, the aerofoil-tip drag (caused by wingtip vortices) will be grater in a T-Tail compared to V-Tail, simply due to the larger...

misconception is that wingtip vortices can be completely eliminated, when in reality wingtip devices are designed instead to reposition these vortices and increase...

buzz bombs include some where the pilot used his wingtip vortices to upset the airflow over the wingtip of the bomb and spun them out of control. But that...

buried in the body drove propellers located on the leading edge at the wingtips", I'd say those are the intakes for the piston engines. They were air-cooled...

which has a thing to do with drafting (unlike that of geese riding wingtip vortices in formation, which IS relevant, or at least related). This is distracting...

top. The two pressure areas attempt to swap, which is what creates wingtip vortices. Increasing the airflow (with airspeed, for example) will increase...

know what the proper name for them is, but I understand they reduce wingtip vortices and result in more efficient flight (which you'd want for a drone)...

interaction of rotors with wingtip vortices? in which direction do rotors rotate? probably against the rotation of the wingtip vortices to possibly partly or...
