A wind tunnel experiment was conducted at subsonic, transonic, and supersonic speeds of the vortex-vortex and vortex-shock interactions about a tailless, general research fighter model having chine-like forebody strakes faired into a 55 deg cropped delta wing. The present paper isolates the results obtained at angle of attack 20 deg and free-stream Mach = 0.6 to 1.6, which include off-surface and on-surface flow visualizations, two-component laser velocimeter measurements, and wing upper surface static pressure distributions. Increasing the Mach number decreased the direct interaction (intertwining) of the forebody strake and wing vortex cores. An early bursting of the wing vortex occurred at free-stream Mach = 0.8, where the flow field was in transition from the intertwining vortices characteristic of the lower subsonic speeds to the decoupled vortices at the transonic and supersonic speeds. The vortex interaction and breakdown were sensitive to the character of the secondary boundary layer separation on the wing, which may be shock-induced at free-stream Mach = 0.8 to 0.95.
