The wingtip vortices do not develop until the wing starts making lift. One would assume that they all make lift at about the same point on the runway. If there is a little crosswind, it will blow the vortices off the runway before the next plane reaches that point.

You would think that they would be taking this all into account as the sequence the planes.
