• Abstract:
  One of the primary limitations for airport capacity in the United States is the phenomenon of aircraft wake vortices. In 1977, a document which described the state-of-the-art for vortex technology was published by the Department of Transportation. That document was a compilation of the work of the most of the major contributors in the field of vortex technology. Since 1977, there have been some significant advances in the state-of-the-art of wake vortex technology resulting from additional analytical work and from the results of some major experiments. The intent of this document is to rewrite selected sections of the 1977 document to bring it up to date with the current state-of-the -art of vortex technology.
