Abstract
The pressures generated by aircraft trailing wake vortices can greatly exceed the normal design load for roofs. Damage is generally confined to small-format roofing elements such as tiles and slates on buildings near the ends of runways in urban areas. This Digest helps building owners, occupiers, roofing specifiers and installers, and local and airport authorities, to identify and reduce damage to tiled and slated roofs from aircraft trailing vortices.
