Abstract

Verbatim from NASA NTRS. Not paraphrased, not summarized.

The paper reviews NASA's efforts on wake vortex turbulence minimization by aerodynamic design or retrofit modifications to large transport aircraft. Theoretical and experimental (ground-based and flight) results are presented which show that the adverse effects of a vortex wake produced by a large aircraft on a small following aircraft can be reduced significantly.
