Aircraft wake vortices for the first time measured by airborne Doppler Lidar

As part of the European project AWIATOR, the detection and characterisation of wake vortices behind an aircraft by a lidar system on-board a second aircraft has been proven as feasible. During the try-out tests, the wake vortices generated by the DLR test aircraft ATTAS flying at 2000 m altitude were measured downward pointing from the DLR research aircraft Falcon flying approximately 900 m above the vortices.
