A thrilling lightshow of iridescent wing vapour, as TUI flight BY842 departs after sunrise to Hurghada International, Egypt.
With the wings working to generate lift at takeoff, slicing through humid air, the airflow on the upper surfaces rapidly condenses, and a thick mist of droplets appears.
With the relatively low sunlight refracting through this flow of high-velocity air, the vapour becomes iridescent, further illustrating the immense power of the Boeing 757’s efficient, supercritical wing design.
