ABSTRACT:
A flow separation reducer comprises a vane which prevents an airflow from being separated in a flow interference region where a plurality of members, such as a main wing and a pylon, are joined to each other. The vane is disposed in a location where the airflow along a surface of one of the members develops a minimum negative pressure. The vane has a predetermined angle of attack with respect to the airflow for generating a vortex downstream of the vane with respect to the airflow and causing a circulation around the vane to reduce the speed of the airflow in the location.
