Wingtip vortices
The swirling air patterns behind wings reveal hidden forces shaping flight efficiency and safety

Why do wingtip vortices form primarily near the wing tips rather than uniformly along the entire wing span?
Because the pressure difference between the upper and lower wing surfaces causes air to flow around the wingtip, creating rotating air patterns concentrated there.
Because the wing tips are the only parts of the wing that generate lift.
Because the engines at the wing tips create turbulence that forms vortices.

Because the wingtip is the only part of the wing that generates lift.
Because the pressure difference between the upper and lower wing surfaces causes air to flow around the wingtips, creating concentrated vortices there.
Because the airspeed is highest at the wingtips, causing stronger vortices there.
