(Phys.org)—An airplane's vortex generators, which look like small fins on its surface, improve the plane's aerodynamics similar to the way in which the dimples on a golf ball improve the ball's ...

From a KITPLANES reader: Why do vortex generators creating turbulence help wings create lift at high angles of attack? Good question Shawn, and thanks for reading. I'm going to preface my answer with ...

Jetstar recently announced that from February 2024, new Airbus A321 planes equipped with “vortex generators” would be used over Brisbane to reduce aircraft noise, while its older A320 fleet would be ...

Normally vortex generators have always been welded onto whatever aerodynamic surface requires their surface. Yet, these little aero-rakes are normally only required for very specific modes of a given ...

Vortex Generators (VGs) originated on the Boeing 707 to manage airflow separation, improving aileron effectiveness, and later became a widely adopted modification for general aviation aircraft. VGs ...
