Over the period 2006 to 2012, the NRC enroute wake vortex flight research project has measured vortex core profiles and properties, during numerous traverses of the vortex cores generated by Heavy and Super Category jet transports, flying enroute in cruise. The vortex core traverses were conducted by the NRC T-33 and were all initiated in-trail, with the T-33 flight-path being parallel to the vortex core axis generally vortex core entries were made in the vortex core six o-clock position. Core traverses took 3/4 to 11/4 seconds, over which the T-33 flew along the vortex axis a distance of 200-300 metres, and 4-20 m across the cores, amounting to traverse angles of 2-4\ub0 The vortex core profile symmetry and/or constancy over such a small t...
