Abstract
In the present work, the results of the experimental measurement of the aerodynamic coefficients of a Delta wing are presented, the determined coefficients were the one of lift, drag and the moment, in addition a visualization was made of the behavior of the fluid that passes over the wing by the use of smoke and a liquid oil compound on the surface of the wing. The results obtained are comparable with the theory of Polhamus as well as good agreement with experimental ones presented in the literature.
