1.1 - INTRODUCTION -
In 1972, the ONERA Aerodynamics Department designed a swept back wing v e r y well instrumented
to beused as an experimental support for basic studies of three-dimensional flows at high Reynolds
m b e r s from law to transonic speeds.

Wind tunnel data from this model called M6-winghave been constituting a good base both for computer
program assessment and for understanding varj.0us flow phenomena like shock wave-boundary layer
interaction or flow separation.
The selected data set was obtained in the ONERA S2MA wind tunnel at Mach numbers of 0.7, 0.84, 0.88
and 0.92 for angles of attack up to 6 degrees and a Reynolds number of about 12 million .
