Which soaring performance boost accompanies reduced wingtip vortices, specifically?

💡 Explanation

A reduced turbulent wake behind a soaring albatross lowers induced drag. This outcome is due to vorticity diffusion because energy loss is reduced, therefore extending soaring range, rather than only affecting span loading or control because decreased turbulence mainly prevents energy loss.
