Flight experiments carried out with a motorized glider yield insights into the aerodynamic processes acting on a laminar wing section under varying on-coming flow conditions. Measurement data are obtained on a laminar wing glove equipped with pressure transducers and wall microphones to detect transition and investigate the boundary-layer instabilities. The on-coming flow, including the instantaneous angle of attack and the turbulence characteristics, is measured with hot-wire sensors. The flight tests were carried out under calm and moderately turbulent conditions. Characteristic results for both on-coming flow conditions are presented and differences are analyzed. Selected comparisons of the experimental results with steady boundary-layer and linear stability computations are provided. The effects observed in the experiments cannot be described solely by quasi-steady theory. Unsteady changes of the pressure distribution are identified as one source for the modification of the transition development. A c...
