The magnetic field and plasma data collected by the Voyager spacecraft between 1 and 11 AU are used to study the properties of interplanetary MHD fluctuations and to attempt to answer several related questions about the Alfvénicity of solar wind fluctuations: First, to what extent are magnetic and velocity fluctuations Alfvénic? Second, does the dominant propagation direction of Alfvénic fluctuations evolve with heliocentric distance? Third, is the presence of Alfvénic fluctuations correlated with large-scale structures, such as stream interaction regions? In addition, the authors investigated the contributions of compressive modes to the interplanetary fluctuations.
