An aerodynamic device includes a main aerodynamic body having a leading edge and a trailing edge, a flight control surface coupled to the main aerodynamic body near the trailing edge of the main aerodynamic body, and a rotating body coupled to the flight control surface. The rotating body is rotatable relative to the flight control surface between a stowed position and a deployed position to define a gap. The rotating body is rotated toward the main aerodynamic body while in the stowed position to close the gap. The rotating body is rotated away from the main aerodynamic body while in the deployed position to widen the gap. The gap adjusts an airflow flowing between the main aerodynamic body and the flight control surface.
