Advantages of Stolspeed Vortex Generators

Stolspeed VGs have been completely redesigned from all other vortex generators on the market to be much more user-friendly and better looking, while still retaining the aerodynamic effectiveness that vortex generators are renowned for. They are designed to be easy to install and use and easy to remove or reposition without damaging the wing paint.

• Attractive yet still aerodynamically effective
• Slim rounded fin provides flexibility
• Rounded, tapered base blends into the wing
• In clear form, nearly invisible or can be painted to match the wing
• Our adhesive allows installation and removal without damaging paint

Designed to match the aerodynamic curve of the wing

The best vortex forms when airflow progressively spills over an angled leading edge creating a slim, tight, tidy vortex that stays close to the wing surface, all the way to the trailing edge. The leading edge shape of the VG is critical to creating this vortex. Similarly, the base must be streamlined with no blunt edges that trip the boundary laye

Stolspeed VGs feature a slim rounded fin for flexibility and a rounded, tapered base that flows into the wing surface. In clear polycarbonate, they’re nearly invisible and can also be painted to match the wing. They look like part of the wing rather than an afterthought.  

Durable UV resistant material

Stolspeed VGs are manufactured from UV stable polycarbonate because it’s tough, flexible, resilient, and can be injection‑moulded into any shape. This allows the base to follow wing curvature. Polycarbonate’s flexibility also allows the fin to ‘give’ and absorb impacts rather than damage the wing skin

Easily installed and repositioned with custom cut adhesive

The adhesive we use is a solvent-free acrylic adhesive that holds very well but can be easily removed with no damage to the paint.  It remains flexible, so can take a severe knock without breaking loose. It's also transparent, so when you place the VG, the colour of the underlying paint shows through vividly, making the base almost invisible. We cut to double side adhesive to exactly match the footprint of each VG to make the installation much easier.
