It is an aerodynamic surface consisting of a small vane that creates a vortex.They can be found in many devices but often used in aircraft design.

Why are Vortex Generators fitted on Tornado Aircraft?

Vortex Generators are fitted on both sides of the base of the Fin, on Tornado Aircraft, to generate a turbulence, so that the Rudder has an effect at altitude, otherwise the Rudder is flying in a vacuum, and has no effect on the stability of the aircraft, causing judder, with possible buckling of the spine to occur.


What is a vortex of a water tornado?

A vortex generator is an aerodynamic surface, consisting of a small vane that creates a vortex. Some surfaces on an airplane can result in air flow separating from the surface or skin. A vortex generator creates a tip vortex which draws energetic, rapidly-moving air from outside the slow-moving boundary layer into contact with the aircraft skin. This keeps the flow close to the aircraft surfaces. Vortex generators delay flow separation and aerodynamic stalling; they improve the effectiveness of control surfaces. You may see vortex generators as a row of small vanes that are mounted in a row along a tail surface.
