Wingtip vortices

This is a video I made about how paper airplanes produce wingtip vorticies. It's a common misconception to think that only big airplanes produce them. Everything that flies produces these wingtip vorticies, even including birds. Please enjoy the video!

Look out for the brownies! Cool video btw. Note that the down turned wingtips generate more circulation.

I work for NASA, and this might be the coolest video showing how wake vortex forms

[RoboTekno]

That's so cool and so simple. Thanks for the vid :D I didn't think the vortices would be that big.
