Default RE: wing vortex

I will say YES.

Not because I know aerodynamically, but it is common in Q500 racing to catch extremely bad air vortexes if you follow closely behind another plane. The results can be extreme with loss of control for several seconds.

These wings have no taper, and no sweep.

The faster Q40 planes (Pictured in my Avatar) we fly with a tapered wing put off more of a Vortex and can quite easily cause a crash if you are not carefull.
