Abstract
This study examines the existing wake turbulence separation and operational modes in terminal airspace to address the challenges posed by the continuous increase in air traffic volume and the imperative of managing flight punctuality. It introduces and evaluates aircraft Self-Separation technology, which leverages wake vortex awareness, detailing its development status, existing challenges, benefits, and drawbacks. The paper concludes by identifying key technical and scientific challenges, offering insights for the strategic decision-making of relevant authorities.
