The present experiment has ascertained the development of the wake flow behind NASA GA(W)-1 airfoils, showing that, in the far wake, the mean velocity profiles exhibit self-similar behavior irrespective of the upstream boundary layer's character. It is noted, however, that the processes by means of which different wakes reach the asymptotic stage can be very different for different types of wake generators.
