Over the coming decades, aviation operations are predicted to rise steadily, increasing the burden on already congested and constrained airports and terminal areas. It has long been recognized that a major factor governing the safe minimum separation distance between aircraft is the hazard associated with the wake generated by the preceding aircraft. A flight deck display that allows the pilot to "see" the neighboring aircraft, as well as its wake, may allow for a decrease in spacing and an increase in airport and airspace capacity, while maintaining safe separation distances from wake vortices. This research evaluates a model based on aircraft parameters that are readily available in flight to predict aircraft wake vortices in real time. Using this model, a number of graphical representations of wake symbology were created for use in a 3-D perspective view flight deck display. This research determines the feasibility of this method of wake vortex display and ascertains the most favorable symbology for use in flight deck operations.
