A deployable vortex generator 100/700 attached to a lifting surface 20 includes a vane moveable relative to the lifting surface. The vane 106/406 moves from a deployed position to a retracted position in response to a change in ambient conditions. In the deployed position, the vane acts on the air flow to create vortices. In the retracted position, the vane is closely aligned with the free stream velocity.
