Which unintended consequence occurs when using leading-edge vortex generators on aircraft wings at high angles of attack near stall?

💡 Explanation

Increased induced drag component is the consequence because vortex generators enhance mixing of high-energy and low-energy air, increasing lift. This generates stronger tip vortices resulting in a higher induced drag component. Therefore, the total drag increases, rather than optimizing efficiency at high angles.
