A retractable vortex generator system for an aircraft. The system comprises a skin, a slot arranged on the skin, a plate comprising a contour configured for energizing the boundary layer of an air current, and driving means configured for rotating the plate between a first and a second position. In the first position at least part of the contour of the plate protrudes through the slot, and in the second position the plate is retracted within the slot.
