What is wake turbulence, and how are aircraft categorized and separated to keep them safe from it? Let's take a look. 🧵👇 Image Aircraft must be separated to protect them from the wake turbulence created by aircraft ahead. Aircraft are categorized as super heavy (A380), heavy (A350/777), medium (A320/737), or light. If they are separated by radar, a distance measurement is used. Here’s a table showing how far these aircraft are kept apart.Image
