Wake Turbulence

Wake Turbulence is a type of atmospheric turbulence characterized by the vortices generated in the wake of an aircraft in flight, distinguished from other forms of turbulence by its origin in the lift-induced airflow around the wings and its potential to induce hazardous flight conditions for following aircraft.
