"4 Key Facts about Airfoil Vortices." -@likeflaps Wingtip vortex, is a spiral of air that forms at the wingtips of an aircraft as a result of pressure differences across the wing. Here are four key facts about airfoil vortices: 1. Formation of Vortices: As an aircraft wing generates lift, the higher-pressure air from beneath the wing tries to move toward the lower-pressure air above it. This causes air to spiral around the wingtips, creating vortices. These vortices trail behind the aircraft and
