Vortex Generators

For Safety, Performance & Profit
BLR_VGSketch_250x250
Like most BLR products, Vortex Generators (VGs) are designed to optimize airflow – in this case over the wing of the aircraft on which they are installed.
VGs enhance performance by energizing airflow and spinning it into tiny vortices that travel over the wing and compress the boundary layer. All VG kits include small, highly engineered aluminum tabs that are attached to the wing aft of the leading edge in precise locations.
Benefits include:
Increases useful load (most models)
Reduces Vmc below stall speed (most models)
Increases aileron effectiveness in all flight regimes
Shorter takeoffs and landings with steeper climbouts and approaches
Decreased tire and brake wear
Stall speed reductions of 7-21% (varies by model)
Approved on Known-Ice aircraft
No additional maintenance required
Easy one-day installation
No weight and balance change required
