Abstract
A method for mounting a vortex generator on an aerodynamic panel of an aircraft, including, before the step of assembling the vortex generator and the aerodynamic panel, a step of installing at least one shim interposed between the base of the vortex generator and the aerodynamic panel, the shim including a first face, oriented towards the aerodynamic panel during operation, that is shaped like the inner surface of the aerodynamic panel, and a second face, oriented towards the base during operation, that is shaped like the upper face of the arm of the base. This solution makes it possible to manufacture the vortex generator without taking into account the curvature of the aerodynamic panel. An aircraft is provided including at least one vortex generator mounted in this way.
