Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9511160A1] An aircraft wing possesses at least one vortex generator for controlling boundary layer separation, each vortex generator, which may be in the form of thin wires, being located entirely within the boundary layer such that the wing generates at least one dominant lee-side vortex. The vortex generators are preferably located on the leading edge of the wing, for example in a position upstream of where boundary layer separation would occur. The application describes vortex generators which are at an angle in the range of 12 DEG to 15 DEG to the leading edge of the wing.
