N2 - A Particle Tracking Velocimetry approach is used to experimentally characterize the flow field within a cross-flow fan integrated at the leading edge of a wing section, delivering thrust as well as enhanced lift. The linear dynamics of the seeded particles, polyethylene mini spheres, was numerically modeled to determine the expected spectral response. These polyethylene particles were seeded into the compressor using an ad-hoc system, while the injection velocity of particles was carefully selected. The manuscript is focused on the description of the experimental technique and analysis of the results at different cruise conditions, free stream velocities and angles of attack.
