Disclosed is a mast for the suspension of a bypass turbine engine beneath a wing of an aircraft in which the wing has at least one flap. The mast includes a rear fairing that protrudes rearward of a trailing edge of the wing and is mounted so as to tilt in a deployed downward position as the flap is deployed in a downward position. The rear fairing is positioned to enter a cold flow of the turbine engine, when deployed in the downward position. The rear fairing further supports at least one aerodynamic element that generates vortices that reduce, if not eliminates, vibrations to which the rear fairing is subjected.

Pylon for suspending a turboengine

The flight of an aircraft is controlled by controlling the aircraft propulsion thrust and adjusting aerodynamic control elements so that the aircraft flies along a specified flight path. In order to reduce wake vortices generated by and trailing behind the aircraft, a wake vortex parameter is determined as a function of a spoiler deflection, and a spoiler element is adjusted to a spoiler deflection value in an optimum range in which the spoiler influence on the wake vortex parameter is maximized and the spoiler influence on the aircraft performance is at its lowest level for achieving that maximum spoiler influence on the wake vortex parameter.
