The vortex occures behind the plane where the airflow that has been disrupted by the plane passing through it comes back together. It is this effect felt when you stand on a road side and a large vehicle passes you, some second laters you feel the wind (vortex) hit you

What is the differences between a vortex and a whirlpool?
A whirlpool is a kind of vortex. More specifically, a whirlpool is a vortex in water that can form from interacting currents. Different types of vortex can occur in air, water, or just about any liquid or gas.
What is drag on a plane?
drag is minimized by aerofoil shape. drag is a force acts on aircraft to minimize speed
A streamline plane is one that has little what?
Drag
Is profile drag of an aircraft also known as skin drag?
no, its part of profile drag. due to roughness, skin friction increases which affects the drag. drag can also be increased by changing the shape or by introduction of active/passiv flow control devices like vortex generators.
Do the flaps on a plane affect how fast the plane flies?
yes. the flaps increase drag which slows the plane down.
What plane does abduction occur in?
Frontal Plane
In which plane does pronation and supination of the forearm occur?
In which plane does pronation and supination of the forearm occur?
Does the wing tip vortex on a plane cause turbulence?
Yes. This is part of what is called wake turbulence.
What is the flape on the plane and how do they help the plane?
the flaps on a plane increase drag and they create lift so the piolt can fly the plane at a lower speed.
What causes drag on an airplane?
Two things: first, friction between the outside of the plane and the air it's passing through. Second, turbulence in the air will drag on the plane.
What plane does shoulder circumduction occur in?
frontal plane
What is a aeroplanes drag?
Drag is simply an external force that affects the motion of airplanes and offers resistance to the motion of the plane.Drag force of a flying plane is compensated by the weight of the plane and the the the forward motion.
