2134197 9322196 PCTABS00027 A lifting body (100) moves relative to a fluid, thereby creating a vortex field in the fluid downstream of the lifting body (100). The lifting body (100) has a predetermined lift distribution along the length thereof which enhances the velocity component of the fluid flow directed outwardly from the centroid of the vortex field to reduce the strength of trailing vortices. In a preferred embodiment, the lifting body (100) is a wing (100) with a perturbation (105) proximate to the tip (102) end of the wing planform trailing edge (104).
