[ Wake turbulence ] ’s something that we did n’t even really acknowledge about until the eighties – every once in a while a modest plane would just dead flick over and barge in and no one bonk why . It was eventually describe to those wingtip vortices do by the wings forward bm through the air . One woodworking plane stick with another too closely ( and with the assist of a slight hybridization wind ) could get caught in one of those and being tight to the reason already , not have time to recover . Now there is required breakup of both time and space between aircraft to help alleviate those outcome , but you ’ll still palpate it from time to clock time . Generally bombastic , heavy aircraft are the worst , but there are some , like the 737 which have notoriously terrible wake Sturm und Drang for their size .
