Question to all the boffins and lift experts:
Surely the A380 wake characteristics are cause by the cord and camber of the wing and not by any significant increase in wingtip generated vortex? Begging the question; were promotional videos made by Airbus suggesting that the fitting of wingtip 'fences' to reduce the aircrafts wake turbulence signature just a red herring when all along they knew that the cord and camber of the wing generated wake turbulence characteristices quite unlike anything we'd seen before?
Viewed from behind it is clearly evident that the cord and camber of the wings is significantly different from any other commercial aircraft flying at the moment.
