(FR): L'invention concerne un VG (générateur de vortex) placé sur la surface d'un corps (avion ou similaire), en amont d'une entrée d'air lisse, afin de générer des vortex qui balayent la couche limite devant l'entrée, induisant un effet de rabattement dans l'écoulement d'air non perturbé. Un tel VG consiste en une aile (1) parallèle à la surface de l'avion ou similaire, supportée par un ou deux supports (2), tels que des ailettes, disposés à un angle divergeant; le VG améliore considérablement le taux de récupération d'entrée d'air dynamique et le rapport de débit massique de l'entrée d'air; et présente un effet de réduction d'épaisseur de couche

2 limite de VG, réduisant ainsi le niveau de distorsion de l'écoulement entrant dans l'entrée, plus d'air non perturbé entrant dans l'entrée sans que les vortex n'y entrent.
