Wake vortex Wirbelschleppe

Wallpaper Description:

What you see is a bit difficult to explain it is a Wake produced by the fly of a Transporter (Cargo)plane that release some Flairs .I think it looks like an abstract Angel watching over the Crew of the plane ,Military Planes need very good guardian angels. Desiderare Tim

Very cool. Wake turbulence IS generated from the dynamics of the wings. A much better example than that of automakers results in wind tunnels.
The angel comparison shows great imagination. Keep up the great work.

I think, half the pic is photoshopped!

OK... These are two US C-17 planes, both firing infra-red decoys. The Angel Decoy was used in Iraq to protect against surface-to-air missiles, but we looks like fireworks, or a fake photo

I think that the swirls were mad eby the plane taking the photo. I say this cause A) if u look closely the transport seems to be behind the cloud and B) the cloud has only two swirls while the transport has four engines
