This invention relates to a system and method for reducing the primary vortex wake structure generated by a lifting body mounted on an object moving through a fluid. This is achieved by first, altering the generated initial vortex wake to make it vulnerable to rapid breakup; and, second, producing disturbances to this wake with secondary vortices from auxiliary lifting surfaces, called vortex leveraging tabs, to instigate this breakup. This invention relates to various fields of uses to include vortices generated by any type of lifting body moving through a fluid to include aircraft and watercraft, such as surface vessels and submarines.
