Pitching airfoil

This picture is a side view of a lifting surface undergoing a pitching maneuver while being towed from right to left in a water tank. Pre-existing, horizontal dye layers are illuminated using a vertical sheet of laser light. The picture clearly depicts the time-dependent vortices forming as a result of the wing maneuver.
