Use of Simple Models to Determine Wake Vortex Categories for New Aircraft

The paper describes how to use simple models and, if needed, sensitivity analyses to determine the wake vortex categories for new aircraft. The methodology provides a tool for the regulators to assess the relative risk of introducing new aircraft into the current fleet.
