According to the latest edition of the Aeronautical Information Manual (effective 19 February 2004), paragraph 7-3-3: "The greatest vortex strength occurs when the generating aircraft is HEAVY, CLEAN, and SLOW." [emphasis present in original document] A clean aircraft generates stronger wake vortices than does one configured for landing. Not necessarily. When it is landing it will be SLOW, which is much more important than the minimal effect of how it happens to be configured. CV
