An investigation was conducted at a Mach number of 1.90 to determine spanwise pressure distribution over a wing tip in a region influenced by a sharp subsonic trailing edge. The wing section was a symmetrical wedge of 5 degrees 43 minutes total included angle in the free-stream direction. The investigation was conducted over a range of angles of attack from -10 to 10 degrees at a Reynolds number of 3,400,000 per foot.
