This article deals with researching the aerodynamic airfoil model in the wind tunnel using volume vortex generators. The volumetric vortex generators of three types for the definite blowing model are described including their geometrical characteristics. The features of volume vortex generators mounting on the surface of the aerodynamic airfoil model are represented. Features of the experiment in the wind tunnel are described. Comparative changes in aerodynamic characteristics of the aerodynamic airfoil model with and without volume vortex generators in the form of graphical dependencies have been shown. The comparison has been made for different values of Re numbers. The analysis of the obtained dependencies has carried out. The visualization of airflow in an experimental way is illustrated. The results are directed at improving the aerodynamic characteristics of unmanned aerial vehicles. The main significance of the research lies in improving the behavior of unmanned aerial vehicles in the area of critical angles of attack. The obtained results can also be useful for aircraft of the wide class.
