Mustafagander, what is the point of having a stall fence on the under side of the wing? After all, the boundary layer separation that causes stalls is on the upper surface, and the purpose of stall walls is to prevent the turbulent flow which starts at the wing root due to washout from flowing span-wise, especially on swept wings. Is my understanding incorrect?
