Pilots avoid vortices by maintaining safe separation and adjusting flight paths. This is called lift. Wingtip vortices are a byproduct of lift. Once the wing stops producing lift, the vortices dissipate instantly. Wing spoilers drastically reduce the lift generated by the wing. How Are Wingtip Vortices Formed?
