Lang associated press writer Washington apr the government has discovered that wingtips of the new jumbo jets Are creating Tornado like winds in the sky capable of tearing apart Light aircraft and hurling other jetliners toward the ground. The potential hazards of the funnel shaped winds spinning off the wings of the 747s and ass had been underrated said Federal aviation .iniatration. Of Quot facials familiar with a series of flight tests now being concluded. The tests showed for example that the swirling winds Trad behind the huge planes for Many Miles and do not readily dissipate at High altitudes. They disclosed too that the invisible turbulence can endanger passenger airliners As Well As Small planes. Because of the winds a called Wake turbulence or wingtip vertices a the Faa has ordered a five mile spacing at All times Between the giant jets and aircraft weighing less than 300,000 pounds. There have been no cases reported of planes crashing after flying into the turbulence generated by the jumbo jets. However records compiled by the National transportation safety Board from 1964 through 1969 reveal 98 cases where Wake turbulence generated by smaller jetliners was a cause or contributing Factor in crashes of Light aircraft. These crashes caused 20 deaths and 54 serious injuries. Wingtip vertices have been a recognized phenomenon for years All planes cause them to some degree. But said Richard Sliff Deputy director of the Faass flight standards service a we did no to know the extent of the turbulence until we undertook this testing program. We were fully aware of Wake turbulence but we did no to know its to the Testa showed that Small aircraft which penetrate the wingtip vertices within three Miles of the giant aircraft can be forced into a sudden Roll of 75 degrees. A in other words Quot said the Faa s William m. Flener director of air tra pc service Quot what we re saying is that under certain circumstances a Light aircraft would break up however the Faass chief of regulation and procedures Robert Martin said he does not believe that a plane flying into a powerful Artex would break up. But he does Forsee a danger of crashing. The Faa measures the 747�?Ts vortex strength As 7,700 feet squared per second and the csacs As 7,260 feet squared per second. Agency officials translate this to wind speeds of 80 to 90 Miles per hour the Power of these vertices is nearly double that of the 707 jetliner which is listed in safety Board records As the Generator of crash causing turbulence in six cases in. A three year period. The vortex of the planned set supersonic transport is estimated by the Faa at 11,200 feet squared per second half again More powerful than that of the 747s. The Power of a vortex is demonstrated in a film a not yet shown publicly a taken by the Faa during flight tests this year at Edwards air Force base Calif Faa and Boeing aircraft corp. Pilots Landing a two engine 737 jetliner 1.7 Miles behind a 747 jumbo Jet deliberately flew into the preceding plane s vortex. At 60 feet above the runway the 737 suddenly jerked into a 28-degree Bank. The right Wing dipped almost to the runway and the plane awed abruptly leftward.
