Description of velocity measurements made in the wake of wings in the Ames 7 x 10 ft wind tunnel. Distributions of velocity components were measured with a three-wire anemometer up to 12 chord lengths downstream of a CV-990 aircraft model and a rectangular wing. Results show that increasing the drag increases the vortex core radius, reduces the maximum tangential velocities, and increases the magnitude of axial velocity defects. For the rectangular wing, axial velocity changes from a defect (wake flow) for angles of attack less than 9 deg to an excess (jet flow) for angles of attack greater than 9 deg. Wind-tunnel measurements of the near flowfield are compared with flight measurements of the far flowfield.
