An investigation of the downwash and wake behind large-scale swept and unswept wings (open access)

An investigation of the downwash and wake behind large-scale swept and unswept wings

Report presenting a wind tunnel investigation to determine the downwash angles, dynamic pressure loss, and wake width behind wings with sweep angles of 45, 30, and 0 degrees. Results indicated that the spanwise distribution of downwash was affected by sweep in a manner similar to span loading, increased toward the root by sweepforward and toward the tip by sweepback.
