Construction & Finish
Micro Vortex Generators are manufactured from 6063-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum under FAA PMA approval. Each VG is alodined to Boeing mil-spec standards for corrosion resistance and durability, and supplied ready for paint. The curved base of each vortex generator is contoured to match the airfoil surface, ensuring proper fit, adhesion, and aerodynamic performance.
Optional paint matching to your aircraft’s finish is available at an additional cost.
How Micro Vortex Generators Work
Micro Vortex Generators are installed in a spanwise line approximately 10% aft of the wing’s leading edge, with additional units installed on the canard where applicable. Each VG creates a small, controlled vortex that energizes the boundary layer of airflow over the airfoil surface. This energized airflow resists separation, allowing the wing and canard to maintain lift and control at lower airspeeds and higher angles of attack. The result is improved performance, enhanced stability, and greater control authority—especially during critical low-speed phases of flight.
