A chine spoiler system enhances aircraft wing stall recovery characteristics while optimizing a maximum lift coefficient (CLMAX) of an aft-swept wing on an aircraft having an engine nacelle mounted below the wing. The system includes a chine located on a surface of the nacelle; the chine is configured to generate a vortex at high angles of attack. The vortex passes over an upper surface of the wing, favorably influencing inboard wing aerodynamics to delay airflow separation from the wing, in advance of a stall. The vortex increases CLMAX, but also creates a nose-up pitching moment on an aft-swept wing, which degrades stall recovery. A chine spoiler system module is configured to render the chine ineffective at predetermined wing flap configurations and angles of attack (typically post CLMAX) to balance the objectives of achieving high pre-stall CLMAX, while providing a nose-down pitching moment increment for improved stall recovery.
