Keywords: half-model, suction, pressure, lift, wake

Flow behavior over a wing in a wind tunnel was studied. Surface pressure and wake profile at different conditions were measured. Suction affected surface pressure by increasing the suction peak over the airfoil, preventing separation etc. At moderate to high angle of attack, suction affected only the root pressure distribution
