Delta Wing Vortex Flow in a Water Tunnel

Delta wing vortex flow can be studied with a water tunnel and dye visualization. A delta wing is a common wing shape for high-speed airplanes because it performs well in transonic and supersonic flight. It has a small aspect ratio, which means the wing span is short compared with the average chord, and a high sweep angle. Th...

Airplane wings, and their design, are essential to defining performance characteristics of an aircraft. The delta wing is a popular design in high-speed airplanes due to its excellent performance in transonic and supersonic flight regimes.

The delta wing has a small aspect ratio, which is defined as the wingspan divided by the average cord...
