The paper presents a survey of experimental activities related with the problem of the laminar-turbulent transition on a swept wing, in incompressible flow. The experiments described below were performed on a classical, symmetric ONERA D profile and on a ONERA D profile with a cambered leading edge. The aim is to obtain a better understanding of the physical phenomena, as well as to collect data in order to check the efficiency of practical calculation methods. The main topics investigated in this paper are: the interaction between streamwise and crossflow instabilities, the problems related with leading edge contamination and the measurement of the extent of the transition region.
