wake vortex

英語（米国） (en-US) 英語（イギリス） (en-GB)

名詞

(aviation, aerodynamics) One of the paired vortices formed behind any heavier-than-air aircraft when producing lift, created by the velocity differential between the air being accelerated downwards by the wings (or other lifting surface), on the one hand, and the unaccelerated air beyond the aircraft's wingtips, on the other.

日本語の意味

航空機が揚力発生時に、翼によって下向きに加速された空気と、翼先で加速されない空気との速度差により形成される、後部に対になって現れる渦のこと。

英語の意味

このボタンはなに？

Pilots must be cautious when taking off behind a heavy jet because a wake vortex can linger and cause loss of control at low altitude.

重いジェット機の後方で離陸する際、翼端渦が残留して低高度での制御喪失を招くことがあるため、パイロットは注意しなければならない。
