A vortex generator (VG) is an aerodynamic device, consisting of a small vane attached to a lifting surface of an airfoil (wings)

Boundary layer separates from certain areas of wings and fuselage well before an aerodynamic stall occurs, during a low-speed flight.
Boundary layer separation creates turbulent airflow and creates localised drag, and make the flight controls less effective during slow-speed flight.
The vortex generators energizes the boundary layer and helps it remain attached longer as speed is reduced.
