Method for mounting a vortex generator on a curved aerodynamic panel of an aircraft and aircraft comprising at least one vortex generator mounted in this way

A method for mounting a vortex generator on an aerodynamic panel of an aircraft having outer and inner surfaces, at least the inner surface being curved, the vortex generator comprising an active portion and a base, said base comprising at least one arm substantially perpendicular to the active portion, said arm having a substantially flat upper face oriented towards the aerodynamic panel during operation, the mounting method comprising the steps of:

• making a cut-out passing through the aerodynamic panel of the aircraft and configured to receive a portion of the active portion of the vortex generator,
• manufacturing the vortex generator in one piece,
• installing at least one shim interposed between the base and the aerodynamic panel of the aircraft, said shim comprising 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 at least one arm of the base, and then
• assembling the vortex generator and the aerodynamic panel with connecting elements.
