How tall is the wake? The downwash is at least equal in height to the total wingspan of the aircraft. Downwash is a large mass of air moving slowly.

Oddly enough, if you are descending, the wake moves more slowly (because you are generating less lift). -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
