Difference between Wingspan and Wingtip vortices

Wingspan vs. Wingtip vortices

The wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip. Wingtip vortices are circular patterns of rotating air left behind a wing as it generates lift.

Similarities between Wingspan and Wingtip vortices

Wingspan and Wingtip vortices have 2 things in common (in Unionpedia): Aspect ratio (aeronautics), Lift-induced drag.

Aspect ratio (aeronautics)

In aeronautics, the aspect ratio of a wing is the ratio of its span to its mean chord.

Lift-induced drag

In aerodynamics, lift-induced drag, induced drag, vortex drag, or sometimes drag due to lift, is an aerodynamic drag force that occurs whenever a moving object redirects the airflow coming at it.
