Gurney flaps have a massively positive effect on an airfoil's lift. And they are seen on many airplanes. There is also a new type of vortex generator, but it is more like tubercles, being investigated. So, there is a chance that both of these flow control devices will end upon the same wing. Do they work well together? How do they affect the aerodynamics of the airfoil?
