A device and methods for low speed performance improvement of a lifting surface assembly (300) are disclosed. At least one vortex generator (308) is coupled to the lifting surface assembly, and the vortex generator is extended through the lifting surface assembly by drooping a hinged leading edge device (302) coupled to the lifting surface assembly to increase lift. The vortex generator is retracted inside the lifting surface assembly to decrease drag.
