Abstract

This paper describes the disturbances caused by wing trailing vortices and their effect on aircraft flying into them. We briefly discuss the physical characteristics of the wing trailing vortices together with their control and alleviation and emphasis is done about the importance that it has in order to diminish the problems generated by the increase in air traffic and in the fly safety.
