Velocity measurements of the early-type binary system V 599 Aql were taken on the basis of Reticon observations. The velocity measurements are based on fitting a cross-correlation function (CCF) derived from a spectrum taken at conjunction to the observed CCFs. Such a profile matched the various observed cross-correlation functions excellently. A spectrophotometric analysis yields spectral types of B3V and B5V for each component and a luminosity ratio of 3.4 + or - 0.1. The system is analyzed, assuming masses consistent with ZAMS objects and synchronous rotation, but this leads to radii and absolute magnitudes that are similar to main-sequence values. Alternatively, when ZAMS masses and radii are assumed, stars are found to rotate about 50 percent above synchronism. Both analyses produce photometric elements that satisfy a rather noisy light curve.
