Overview
|
Micro Vortex Generators from Micro Aerodynamics, Inc. are available for a wide range of aircraft and can reduce stall speed, improve aileron response, improve cross wind control, and reduce landing and takeoff roll. The kits consist of vortex generators mounted on the wings, the horizontal stabilizer, and the vertical stabilizer. The generators are manufactured under FAA/PMA from 6063T6 aluminum and are curved to fit the contour of the wing. Included in the kits are installation tools, detailed drawings and instructions, templates for positioning VG's, spares,Loctite Depend adhesive and all the materials needed for the easy one-day installation. ATTENTION: Upon Order Aircraft Info Required
Serial No. Paint No. & Name *J-3 Upgrade Kit Description: Tail VGs on underside of stabilizer provide full-span elevator authority and improve controllability. |
Q&A
Please note, Aircraft Spruce's personnel are not certified aircraft mechanics and can only provide general support and ideas, which should not be relied upon or implemented in lieu of consulting an A&P or other qualified technician. Aircraft Spruce assumes no responsibility or liability for any issue or problem which may arise from any repair, modification or other work done from this knowledge base. Any product eligibility information provided here is based on general application guides and we recommend always referring to your specific aircraft parts manual, the parts manufacturer or consulting with a qualified mechanic.
Yes, all the Micro vortex generator kits for certified aircraft will include the STC. Only the vortex generator kits for experimental aircraft will not include the STC.
The kit for the PA28 contains 3 different part numbers for different locations on the aircraft. There are 4 extra of each part number (12 total) included as spares with the purchase of the kit. Please note that the painting option is available for an additional charge per color, and we require the paint name and color code number to paint. To paint the parts "white", this charge applies, and we need the code information. The vortex generators can reduce stall speed by 5 MPH.
Per the supplier: "With the installation of Micro VGs on the PA22-150, there is a reduction in stall speed, but change to the take-off weight. The takeoff and landing distances are reduced due to the reduction in stall speed. Since we did not certify new performance charts for the flight manual, I do not have exact numbers for you. For take-off, the stall speed at gross with flaps UP is 53 mph (instead of 58), so the plane will fly at 54 mph, which allows for a shorter takeoff. For landing, the demonstrated stall speed with flaps full is 47 mph (instead of 53 mph). This will allow for slower approach (1.3 x 47 mph) at 61 mph at gross which translates into shorter landing distance."
This is an STC'd product and is considered a major modification. Yes, this will need to be installed by an A&P mechanic.
No gross weight or useful load change on the Aztec model with Micro AeroDynamics VG kit.
Micro VG kit per STC SA00376SE has parts installed on the wings and vertical tail.
These can reduce stall speed, improve aileron response, improve cross wind control, and reduce landing and takeoff roll. They do not increase useful load.
No the PA32-RT-300T has a t-tail and the vendor does not offer a kit for that configuration.
Yes this kit comes with enough VG's for the wings and horizontal stab.
