The present disclosure is directed to a vortex generator etc. configured for mounting to either of a suction side (24) or a pressure side (22) of a rotor blade (16). The vortex generator (102) includes a base portion (104) having a contour in an uninstalled state that substantially aligns with or conforms to a contour of a plurality of locations of either on the suction side (24) or the pressure side (22) of the rotor blade (16). Further, the vortex generator (102) includes a protrusion member (108) extending upwardly from the base portion (104). The protrusion member (108) includes a plurality of tines separated by at least one slit (126). Moreover, the base portion (104) and the protrusion member (108) are constructed of a rigid material. In addition, the vortex generator (102) includes a flexible coating material configured at least partially around the base portion (104) and/or within or around the at least one slit (126).
