High-agility aircraft may encounter the wake of a preceding aircraft. The associated loads are influenced by the actual manoeuvre, the unsteady angle of attack due to the wake encounter and the aircraft structure`s dynamic behaviour. Experimental and numerical investigations of the wake vortex system of a delta-canard-configuration are presented.
