A vortex generator arrangement for an aircraft including a surface section, a flap element pivotable between a first position and a second position, a biasing arrangement biasing the flap element towards the second position, retaining devices retaining the flap element in the first or second position, and a release device releasing the flap element from the first retaining device. The biasing arrangement, the first retaining device and the second retaining device are configured such that the second retaining device automatically retains the flap element in the second position after the flap element has been pivoted by the biasing arrangement from the first position into the second position. As soon as the torque exceeds a predetermined value, the second retaining device automatically releases the flap element, which pivots against the force of the biasing arrangement into the first position and is automatically retained therein by the first retaining device.
