An experimental and computational study was carried out to investigate the effects of lateral blowing on a delta wing at low to moderate angles of attack. Motivation for the present study is to use lateral blowing to increase lift and to provide roll control for a high-speed configuration during takeoff and landing approaches. For this purpose, lateral blowing was applied through blowing slots along the leading edge of a delta wing symmetrically to increase lift and asymmetrically to induce rolling moments. Experiments showed that the higher the blowing rate, the greater the forces and moments that were attained on the model.
