Vortex Generators Feb 98 Issue Copyright 1998 Thomas P. Turner 1st NA Rights to Private Pilot I have a great job. Although my primary responsibilities with the company lie elsewhere, as part of my employment I fly a turbocharged Beech baron . One of the first things my new employer asked when I came on board, was whether I thought adding Vortex Generators (VGs) to the baron would help with the airplane s short-field performance we fly out of a 3300-foot runway in the east Tennessee hills, long by most lightplane standards but on the ragged edge of performance in a loaded baron on a hot summer s day. What Are Vortex Generators ? As a wing flies at higher and higher angles of attack, airflow begins to separate, reducing lift and increasing drag.
the Baron would help with the airplane’s short-field performance—we fly out of a 3300-foot runway in the east Tennessee hills, long by most lightplane standards but on the ragged edge of performance in a loaded Baron on a hot summer’s day.
