The greatest vortex strength occurs when the generating aircraft is?

Heavy, clean, and slow VORTEX STRENGTH The strength of the vortex is governed by the weight, speed, and shape of the wing of the generating aircraft. The vortex characteristics of any given aircraft can also be changed by the extension of flaps or other wing configuration devices as well as by a change in speed. The greatest vortex strength occurs when the generating aircraft is heavy, clean, and slow.


Why do some aeroplanes have a bend at the end of the wing?

The small "winglet" at the tips of the wings increases the lift by forcing a vortex to remain at the wingtip. An airplane wing forces air downward. At the same time, air from below the wing leaks around the wingtip and moves to the top, and a rotating "vortex" appears at the wingtip. Sometimes the location of this "leakage" process moves away from the wing tip, and the vortex migrates inboard along the wing toward the fuselage. The vortex then extends from the middle of the wing and not from the tip. When this occurs, negative lift is produced by the part of the wing outside the vortex location. The function of the small winglet is to increase lift by forcing the vortex back to the wingtip. to improve lift at the tip of the wing by redirecting and smoothing airflow - otherwise some wings at the tip have practically no lift, or in other words are nearly stalled - although its easy to see the large upwards pointing winglets on larger aircraft, some smaller aircraft (usually ones with high wings) also have a smaller version that is a slightly down curved wing tip that does the same thing Some aircraft have small winglets at the tip of the wings. This improves the lift of the wing. As the airflow passes over the wing, the flow on top of the wing has to travel a longer distance, so it speeds up and thus reducing pressure. This reduction in pressure on Top of the wing and the increase in pressure of the air flowing along Bottom of the wing produces the lift. However, the airflow wants to travel the path of least resistance. So, it tends to move Outboard away from the fuselage and toward the tip of the wing. The airflow at the tip slides off the end of the wing and produces a Vortex. This vortex can sometimes be seen under certain atmospheric conditions as vapor trails or contrails. This vortex is a lost Lift. The winglets reduce this vortex greatly and thus prevents lost lift.


Does the wing tip vortex on a plane cause turbulence?

Yes. This is part of what is called wake turbulence.

How do dragonflies fly so fast?

the first set of wings create a vortex for the secondset to use.a vortex in air is like a handle you can use to change your flight line.the front wing creates lift as well as the vortex the second set are the motor. they grab the vortex and push any direction,the front wings change to that angle so change the direction of the dragonfly
