> Heavier, slower aircraft make stronger turbulence

Is it the weight of aircraft that contributes to the wake turbulence or the physical size? Presumably these usually correlate pretty well but just asking for clarity…

weight. the wing (plane) is exerting itself on the air and the heavier the plane the stronger the force.
Thanks!
