1. Vortex Generator

2. Vortex Generator • An aerodynamic surface, consisting of a small vane that creates a vortex • Maintain steady airflow over the control surfaces at the rear of the wing • Usually fitted in a spanwise line approximately ten percent aft of the leading edge of the wing

7. Vortex Generator Harrier

8. Vortex Generator • Stick out of the stagnant air near the surface of the wing, and into the freely moving air outside the boundary layer • Mix the free stream with the stagnant air to get it moving again • Energizes the normally stagnant boundary layer of air on the wing's surface and delay separation and stall effects • Airflow "sticks" to the wing better, permitting flight at lower airspeeds with improved control authority • Alleviate potential shock-stall problems for swept-wing transonic designs
