High agility aircraft configurations are designed to cover a wide range of flight maneuvers, from supersonic performance to high maneuverability at subsonic speeds. The DLR-F23 configuration, consisting of a low aspect-ratio triple-delta-wing planform, was investigated with a focus on vortical flow physics. Fast-response pressure sensitive paint was applied to investigate unsteady flow phenomena.
