The NLR aviation research group in the Netherlands published a report in 2020 which found that - for offshore helicopters - problematic turbulence was unlikely to be encountered beyond 6 turbine rotor diameters downwind of a single turbine. They proposed a safety factor of eight rotor diameters downwind of a multiple-turbine wind farm.
