VORTEX GENERATORS
The vortex generators (VGs), applied on the leading edge of your wing, allow you to improve its performances. The velocity range is amplified downwards (the stall will appear at lower speed) while the maximum velocity won't undergo any variation.
This characteristic will make the wing safer. The landing and take-off will be easier.
The VGs are well working on 3-axis ultralights, trikes and even on hang gliders.
Each VG produces a little vortex that goes along the upper surface "catching" air from the turbolent boundary layer and reducing its thickness. This energization of the boundary layer allows to delay the propagation of the stall caused by a separation.
A VGs equipped wing generates lift at lower incidences.
The drag produced by the VGs is balanced by the reduction of the total drag produced by the wing and that's the reason why there is no degradation of the speed performances.
The VGs position is very important, the wrong positioned VG is unuseful. The dimension and the shape are also significant in order to obtain the benefit wished.
After months of testing we have optimized the first vortex generator for the ultralights: STOL 2.
For installing the Vgs it has been developed an original method of caluculation of the correct positioning using a template for 3-axis ultralights or microlights.
Is anyway possible to be helped by our staff for the VGs setting.
The material choosen for the production is Polypropilene (PP) due to its hight resistance to gasoline.
The available colours are: grey, white and transparent.
