A vortex generation device for reducing drag on an upswept aircraft fuselage afterbody and including a vortex generator vane that extends longitudinally from along an outer mold line of the fuselage of an aircraft adjacent an upswept afterbody of the fuselage and that is configured and positioned to reduce drag on an upswept aircraft fuselage afterbody by developing vortices that counteract vortices generated along such an upswept fuselage afterbody. The vane is disposed aft of a side paratrooper jump door of the aircraft fuselage and has a spine and leading end that are faired smoothly into the mold line of the fuselage.
