The Vortex Position Estimator used for the Airbus fello'fly Transatlantic Crossing
In November 2021 the Airbus fello’fly project completed two transatlantic formation flights demonstrating a reduction of fuel consumption of 5% trip fuel for the follower. The follower achieved this by maintaining an optimum lateral position relative to the wake vortices generated by the leader.
