Shedding Moisture

Wet weather snapping can be surprising at times,
this CO 757 shedding moisture on take-off being an
example of the unexpected.

Hmmm! Not sure that air is compressed above the wings of an aeroplane! :confused: If it was compressed above the wings, aeroplanes would be pretty good at piling themselves into the ground but wouldn’t go up very well!!! 😮

Low pressure above the wings results in moisture in the air condensing out into visible droplets, and if there’s enough moisture in the air it becomes the visible “clouding” you see in these photos. It doesn’t have to be raining, just that the humidity must be fairly high.

Nice shots – not always easy to catch like that.

It is very humid here at the moment.

Its what I call “sticky” weather.

More than likely compression of the air over the top of the wings forming moisture
