So-called plate lines have been developed at the DLR Institute of Atmospheric Physics in order to shorten the lifetime of wake vortices generated by landing aircraft. Installing plate lines underneath the glide path mitigates wake vortex encounter risks and prevents go-arounds. In combination with a modern separation scheme, delays can be reduced and runway capacity can be increased.
