The motions of four fully-rolled up vortices representing the vortex system trailing behind cruciform wings (banked 45 degrees) at all Mach numbers are investigated by theoretical and visual-flow methods. Equations are developed for the vortex paths in three dimensions, and the distance behind the wing at which the upper two vortices "leapfrog" through the lower two calculated. Results of some water tank tests are presented and comparisons made with the theory.
