Question to Mxmanic

I don't know if he "cannot" or will not or just wants to get under
everyone's skin. What you say in this post is correct. But why do people
keep responding and arguing ad nauseum with someone who can't or won't
get it? What's the dynamic? I doubt that there has ever been a pilot who
has not flown into his own wake in a constant altitude 360. So this is
not a topic that one pilot needs to prove to another pilot with a
different opinion.

The only dynamic is between the pilots on the group, certainly not with
MX. But, as I mentioned, the thread forced me to ask myself just what it
was I am "running over" when I hit my own wake turbulence. Does it
matter? Probably not, but this enquiring mind wants to know. I still
don't have the answer. Rising wingtip vortices in warm air? Prop wash?
"Burbles" from the passage of non-lifting surfaces like the fuselage?

We all know it happens. I'm just one of those weirdos that wants to know
WHY it happens. As a result of this thread, it appears that nobody
knows. It's an unstudied regime of flight. I find THAT interesting!
Perhaps it could lead to some super-terrific drag reduction technique,
like surfing on your own wake? After all, that's why geese fly in "V"
formation.
