Abstract
The effect of wing plan form on the downwash behind wings is investigated. The theoretical downwash angles are computed and compared with experimental results. The results show that both experimentally and theoretically there is a decrease in downwash with an increase in sweep, but the downwash derivative behind swept-back wing increases with increase of angle of attack under effect of leading edge separation.
