Vienna airport trials panel structure to reduce wa

（www.cargofee.com）New broadcast：

Austrian air navigation service provider Austro Control and German aerospace research centre DLR are testing at Vienna airport specially erected panels near a runway threshold as part of an effort to reduce aircraft wake vortices and shorten separation between arriving flights.

The structure consists of a series of roughly parallel panels – approximately 9m (30ft) long and 4.5m tall – which have been installed in the approach area of runway 16, close to the instrument landing system's localiser antenna.

While wake vortices at altitude tend to quickly descend, drift away and dissipate, they can hover for "some time" near the ground, DLR says.

"The very first evaluations of the new measurements in Vienna show that the wake vortices near the [panels] decay noticeably faster," states Frank Holzapfel of DLR's Institute of Atmospheric Physics.
