72linerlover Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Hallo Boeing 707 experts. I have a question about the vortex generators on the wing extrados. Were those generators mounted also on early 707-100 series as f.e. N707PA in 1958? I cannot find any picture where is clearly understandable if they were or not. Thanks in advance.

aircal62 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Yes they were there, two rows as seen in later 707 wings. Boeing had extensive experience with using vortex generators on wings with the B-47 and B-52 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
