A term used for the larger commercial aircraft auch as B747s and A340s. Because Heavy aircraft leave larger wake vortexes behind them, they need to be separated more from medium aircraft such as A320 and B737 and even more from light aircraft.

Why are more modern aircraft including Boeing 747 jumbo aircraft having more controls managed by computer or fly-by-wire? Is it safe?
