In one embodiment, a wing includes a low pressure side, a high pressure side opposite the low pressure side, and a drag reducing apparatus coupled to the low pressure using an adhesive. The drag reducing apparatus includes a first side coupled to the low pressure side of the wing, and a second side opposite the first side, the second side comprising a plurality of vortex generators arranged in an array configuration, the array configuration of vortex generators operable to weaken a wingtip vortex generated by the wing by generating one or more vane vortices near an end of the low pressure side of the wing.

1. A wing, comprising: a low pressure side and a high pressure side opposite the low pressure side, wherein the low pressure side and high pressure side are configured, when air flows over the wing, to generate a force on the high pressure side; anda drag reducing apparatus coupled to the low pressure side of the wing using an adhesive, the drag reducing apparatus comprising: a first side coupled to the low pressure side of the wing;a second side opposite the first side, the second side comprising a plurality of vortex generators arranged in a plurality of arrays, the plurality of arrays operable to weaken a wingtip vortex generated by the wing by generating one or more vane vortices near an end of the low pressure side of the wing; andone or more markings, each of the one or more markings indicating alignment of the drag reducing apparatus with respect to a feature of the wing, wherein a marking of the one or more markings indicates alignment with respect to a tip of the wing or a feature of a flap of the wing. 2. The wing of claim 1, wherein the plurality of arrays are arranged such that centers of the generated vane vortices are different from a center of the wingtip vortex. 3. A wing, comprising: a low pressure side and a high pressure side opposite the low pressure side, wherein the low pressure side and high pressure side are configured, when air flows over the wing, to generate a force on the high pressure side; anda drag reducing apparatus coupled to the low pressure side of the wing using an adhesive, the drag reducing apparatus comprising: a first side coupled to the low pressure side of the wing;a second side opposite the first side, the second side comprising a plurality of vortex generators arranged in an array configuration, the array configuration of vortex generators operable to weaken a wingtip vortex generated by the wing by generating one or more vane vortices near an end of the low pressure side of the wing; andone or more markings, each of the one or more markings indicating alignment of the drag reducing apparatus with respect to a feature of the wing, wherein a marking of the one or more markings indicates alignment with respect to a tip of the wing or a feature of a flap of the wing. 4. The wing of claim 3, wherein the array configuration comprises a plurality of arrays, each array comprising a plurality of vortex generators. 5. The wing of claim 4, wherein a spacing of the arrays of the plurality of arrays is between 0.1 and 1 inch. 6. The wing of claim 3, wherein each of the plurality of vortex generators is between 0.25 and 0.5 inches in height. 7. The wing of claim 3, wherein a shape of the vortex generators is selected from the group consisting of semi-spherical, pyramid-shaped, and cone-shaped. 8. The wing of claim 3, wherein the array configuration is arranged such that centers of the generated vane vortices are different from a center of the wingtip vortex.
