Remember, the air around the wake is also being dragged by the wake vortex. But at very slow speed. Even the downwash itself is moving slowly, only a few knots. Any of the winds that one often encounters at altitude would be enough to rapidly disperse it. You have no idea of the altitudes or winds aloft at which most people practice maneuvers in real airplanes. Wind by itself will not "disperse" anything, it will just move it. It takes turbulant air to disperse things in the air. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

Another essentially true, but worthless statement that serves no purpose other than to play semantic word games. Most practice maneuvers are done in a small altitude box for reasons that Microsoft flying games do not simulate. Wind by itself will not "disperse" anything, it will just move it. Winds interacting with each other will disperse lots of things. There is no such thing as "winds" at a particular point in the sky, there is only the wind. It takes turbulant air to disperse things in the air. See above. Turbulant air is caused by differences in wind over an area. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
