Zusammenfassung:	A concealable flap actuated vortex generator for generating a vortex on a lifting surface assembly, and an improved aircraft flight lifting surface having such concealable flap actuated vortex generators. When the flap of the lifting surface assembly is in the nominal (non-extended or non-deflected) position, the vortex generator is unexposed. When the flap is actuated by a flap actuator, the flap is extended or deflected from the nominal position, thereby projecting or exposing the vortex generator into an operational position and enabling the generation of a vortex.
