It's no secret that air travel requires a lot of technical know-how. What exactly is wake turbulence and how does it affect ...

Commercial aircraft are divided into weight categories by the ICAO to account for the Wake Vortex Turbulence they generate. The FAA also has categories for aircraft based on weight that mirror ...

The dramatic ordeal afflicting passengers on the QF94 from Los Angeles to Melbourne is understood to have been caused by the vortex, or “wake turbulence” caused by another aircraft which took ...

These imbedded vortices interact with each other and create some turbulence within the overall vortex. This lessens the strength of the overall vortex. In contrast, a clean wing produces a single ...

Video and passenger accounts have painted a picture of chaos aboard Singapore Airlines Flight SQ321 after the passenger aircraft encountered what the airline called "sudden extreme turbulence." ...

Turbulence is being examined more closely in the wake of several recent incidents. An expert in aviation and the climate told BI how the warming atmosphere makes turbulence worse. One study found ...

One person is dead, and 30 are injured after a Singapore Airlines flight faced severe turbulence. Turbulence is getting worse, and that trend is likely to continue because of climate change.
