Extract

—Measurements of pressure distribution and skin friction have been made on an 11% thick aerofoil in the presence of a variable base bleed flow. These tests show that the effects of bleed decay rapidly upstream of the base and are measurable only over the rear 40% of the chord. The integrated profile drag values also confirm that wake traverse measurements are subject to error in a strong vortex street.
