| Abstract | This report summarizes and analyzes techniques, both active and passive that could be used to detect and measure air movements associated with wingtip vortex generation within an area or throughout a volume of terminal airspace. This study also indicates one or more useable techniques with the appraisal of expected performance and inherent limitations. Results of preliminary feasibility tests employing available technology are presented. This report also discusses the Systems Studies to be performed on the wake vortex sensing problem. The major effort is directed toward the location of wake vortex hazard, and the generation of monitoring requirements for safe operation in the airport terminal-environment. |
