Wind farms: A danger to ultra-light aircraft?Oldenburg, Germany (SPX) Aug 15, 2012 Airfields for ultra-light aircraft are typically constructed on level ground - and so are wind farms. However, do wind power plantsgenerate turbulence that could endanger lightweight planes? A simulation can compute how these power plants influence aircraft at various wind speeds and wind directions. For a motorized hangglider or a one-seater weighing 300 kilograms: the business of flying by ultra-light aircraft is booming. That is also why numerous airfields are applying for the license to host t ... read more |
