How many is several
? ...perhaps just two small ones eh..
So when yer taxing out behind that little ultralight do you worry about wake turbulence? ..probably not. Though when yer taxi out behind that Airbus wake turbulence is a givin.
I'm still waiting to see a link to the so-called wind power research mentioned by other posters to this thread..
