With
BDS Vortex Generators you also retain positive aileron control and
enhance your rudder authority in higher angles of attack. We are
sure you will immediately notice an improvement in your aircraft.
Power off
stalls* during flight test provided a 7 Knot decrease in stall
speed. During 0 thrust stalls** the margin grew into the 10 to
12 knot range. There was even up to a 12 to 15 knot improvement***
in some 30 Degree bank turns.
Q: How
do they work?
Each V/G
is like a miniature wing tip in the air stream and generates it’s
own vortex or tiny tornado. The vortex energizes the thin layer
of dead air above the wing's surface. This results in the air
remaining attached to the airfoil longer as the angle of attack
increases.
If the aircraft
finally stalls, the arrangement of the Vortex Generators causes
the separation to begin at the inboard section of the wing, providing
a conspicuous warning before the entire wing stalls.
The Vortex
Generator Kit itself consists of an array of counter-rotation
producing aluminum generators on the leading edge of the wings.
The 33 and 36 models also have V/G’s located on the vertical
stabilizer just forward of the rudder for greater rudder authority
at low speeds. All are permanently attached using very high strength
bonding epoxy.
Our V/G kit
comes with everything needed for your mechanic or one of our installation
centers to install it. Installation of the kit is quick, and easy.
You’ll be amazed at the change in performance and handling.
Here are
a few performance enhancements to look forward to:
*IO-520 idle
@650RPM,10-550 idle @600RPM, IO470 idle @600RPM
**Propeller
is running at the same speed as the aircraft is flying. (Generally
10-12 inches map when stalling)
