An investigation was conducted regarding the issue of deviation from two-dimensionality in flowfield studies of a supercritical airfoil. It was found that significant three-dimensional effects occur in transonic airfoil tests, even for an aspect ratio of four. This is especially true at the supercritical Mach numbers, for which lateral propagation of disturbances is effective.
