Results of a low-speed experimental investigation of jet behavior in the trailing vortex wake of a wing are presented. The effects of varying jet-to-freestream velocity ratio and vortex-wake strength on the downstream evolution of the flowfield are quantified via three-dimensional hot-wire anemometry surveys. Under conditions encountered in powered flight, especially flow states characteristics of takeoff, landing, and maneuvering of a vehicle, the jet is found to undergo severe distortion within a very short distance from the nozzle exit. The interaction of the jet and the wing vortices generates additional vortical structures. Spreading and decay of the jet are shown to be governed predominantly by the interaction of the vortices
