You may want to keep an open mind on this. There are experimentally
documented cases where VGs not only decrease stall speeds, but also increase cruise
speed. Doesn't seem intuitive to go faster by adding draggy looking things, but it
turns out the more laminar airflow they provide decreases drag by more than what they
add.

Might be a jet thing. It isn't with your typical spamcan.
