Optimize Wind Blade Aerodynamics

Get the most out of your wind blades by improving the energy-production performance of the entire turbine. With 3M™ Vortex Generators, airflow separation is reduced, helping avoid aerodynamic stall which can have a significant negative impact on turbine performance.

  • A worker suspended in air installing 3M Vortex Generators.
  • Potentially increase annual energy production up to 3%.

    A fast and economical way to improve the aerodynamic efficiency of a variety of existing blade and turbine types. Our field-proven design has a proven track record of performance improvement, and protection against weathering and harsh environments.


Wind Blade Products
