A wing includes a low pressure side, a high pressure side opposite the low pressure side, and a drag reducing apparatus coupled to the low pressure using an adhesive. The drag reducing apparatus includes a first side coupled to the low pressure side of the wing, and a second side opposite the first side. The second side includes a plurality of vortex generators arranged in an array configuration. The vortex generators generate one or more vane vortices near an end of the low pressure side of the wing, thereby weakening a wingtip vortex generated by the wing.
