STATE-OF-THE-ART SURVEY FOR MANIMUM APPROACH, LANDING, AND TAKEOFF INTERVALS AS DICTATED BY WAKES, VORTICES, AND WEATHER PHENOMENA,

Abstract

A study is made of the generation and decay of the wake behind an aircraft, both in free air and ground effect, and its effect on following aircraft. An analysis is presented for both fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft which defines the wake movement with time and the wake-induced velocities. The wake due to the propulsion system is analyzed both for normal operation and reversed thrust, as well as for pure propulsion lift. The influence of atmospheric parameters such as wind, temperature, and turbulence is discussed as it applies to the generation and decay of the wake. (Author)
