I tested a Boeing wing by towing it in water at work. Wing tip vortices off the wing can last longer than they thought ! - like 2 or 3 minutes. A small plane landing after a 380 or a 747 can get really tossed around in turbulence. I’d say this is a bit like “propwash”

I saw this a while back and don't remember if I shared it already.
