1Wake turbulence — make up the primary and most dangerous component of wake turbulence. Wake turbulence is especially hazardous during the landing and take off phases of flight, for three reasons. The first is that during take off and landing, aircraft operate at… …
2Wake — A wake is the region of turbulence immediately to the rear of a solid body caused by the flow of air or water around the body. In fluid dynamics, a wake is the region of separated flow (usually turbulent)downstream of a solid body moving relative …
