When an aircraft flies across the wake of a preceding one, it is subjected to changing airloads and moments induced by the trailing vortices of the first aircraft. The purpose of the paper is to investigate the magnitude and characteristics of the time dependent aerodynamic forces so produced. Both aircraft are assumed to be in horizontal flight but the direction of flight of the second aircraft is assumed to be inclined at a small angle to the trailing vortices of the first aircraft. The pilot of the second aircraft is assumed to have sufficient control power to maintain his aircraft in level flight. (Author)
