Information about wake turbulence is published in the Aeronautical Information Manual and also a variety of Advisory Circulars. A faster takeof speed would have done nothing to prevent this accident-- unless, of course it put you beyond the vortices. The rolling moment imparted by wake turbulence is more than most light GA aircraft can counter at any airspeed. Best to wait the recommended time period. BTW--Flying a faster takeoff speed or Vr speed puts additional loads on the nose gear as you must hold additional "nose down" elevator in order to keep the nose on deck. Jeff Edwards LIVP N619SJ CFI
