The benefits achievable in terms of reduced delay and capacity gained at several major airports if products of the Wake Vortex Program were implemented resulting in reduced intrail separation standards is addressed. These theoretical separation standards were developed from products of the Wake Vortex Program and were used in a simulation of runway operations at John F. Kennedy (JFK), Boston (BOS), and St. Louis (STL) airports. These products include Vortex Advisory System (VAS), Wake Vortex Avoidance System (WVAS), Wake Vortex Detection/Monitoring System. In addition to site specific airports, generic runway configurations were explored as a means of grouping many airports with similar configurations. The estimates derived include delay time saved in dollars per day and capacity gained in operations per hour for each airport evaluated. Considerable benefits to the airlines and the economy could be achieved if these wake vortex products were implemented resulting in reduced separation standards.
