Let Gr(k,n) be the Plucker embedding of the Grassmann variety of projective k-planes in Pn. For a projective variety X, lets(X) denote the variety of its s 1 secant planes. More precisely, �s(X) denotes the Zariski closure of the union of linear spans of s-tuples of points lying on X. We exhibit two functions s0(n) � s1(n) such thats(Gr(2,n)) has the expected dimension whenever n � 9 and either ss0(n) or s1(n) � s. Both s0(n) and s1(n) are asymptotic to n 2 18 . This yields, asymptotically, the typical rank of an element of ^ 3 C n+1 . Finally, we classify all defectives(Gr(k,n)) for s � 6 and provide geometric arguments underlying each defective case.
