Programme overview

Aircraft wake vortex is wingtip vortex related to the formation of aircraft lift, which extend back to a long distance in a trumpet shape. The strength of the wake vortex is related to the lift generated by the wing. The greater the lift, the stronger the wake vortex. During the landing and take-off phases, the wake vortex produced by the aircraft is potentially harmful to the aircraft behind it. The observation and research of the aircraft wake vortex near the ground are of great significance to the navigation efficiency of the airport, the approach of the aircraft and the order arrangement of the landing models. Leice was pioneering in research on aircraft wake vortex monitoring in China and has successfully carried out aircraft wake vortex monitoring at Qingdao Liuting Airport, Sichuan Mianyang Airport, and Sichuan Shuangliu Airport.
