An aerodynamic surface of an aircraft comprises a main part with a leading and a trailing edge and having an aerodynamic profile, and also vortex generators in the form of teeth having edges along the length thereof. The teeth are mounted on the leading edge of the main part so as to be capable of generating two vortex cores on one tooth. The edges of a tooth adjoin the leading edge of the main part of the aerodynamic surface. The radius of an edge of each tooth along the length of the vortex generator is five times less than the radius of the leading edge of the main part. The main part of the aerodynamic surface has an asymmetrical aerodynamic profile, wherein the teeth are mounted with a deflection towards the smallest degree of curvature of the aerodynamic profile of the main part. The invention is directed towards reducing the aerodynamic resistance at low angles of attack while maintaining an increased load-bearing capacity of the aerodynamic surface by generating of vortex cores adjacent to one of the sides thereof.
