Title: Eclat and Elite vortex generators?
Post by: TurboFource on Saturday,May 02, 2020, 07:15:18 AM

I was just checking out the Eclat online and notice that it and the Elite appear to have
Vortex generators on the B-pillars. Is this what they are to improve aerodynamics?

They cover the cabin vents. Probably designed to produce an area of low pressure behind them to aid cabin air extraction. They changed several times through the Elite, Eclat and Excel series. Similar principle to the slots above the Europa’s rear screen.
