Experimental Investigations to Fully Map The Flow Field Around A Wind Tunnel Model of A Transport Airplane

A description of the results of research conducted to fully map the three-dimensional flow field associated with a typical transport airplane. Details of the method employed to map the flow field, pictures of the longitudinal development of fore body vortices, and a comparison of the experimental results with empirical methods are presented. The results also include a graphic description of the wake propagation behind deflected spoiler panels.
