In the deployed position, the vane is configured to reduce noise created by an airflow around or along the aerodynamic surface. A spring controls deployment of the vane and includes an elongate tube formed of a superelastic shape memory alloy.

A mounting base receives the vane when it is in the stowed position, and operatively couples the vortex generator to the aerodynamic surface. To create the torque in the elongate tube, a first end of the elongate tube is fixed with respect to the aerodynamic surface while a second end of the elongate tube is free to rotate.

The valve is located between a cryogen source and a cryogen bath and has a position based on the magnetic field generated by a parallel solenoid circuit having a superconducting solenoid wound in a first direction and a non-superconducting solenoid (e.g., normal metal solenoid) wound in a second direction. When the current source is supplying a current to the parallel solenoid circuit and the temperature at the parallel solenoid circuit is below a threshold temperature, the current flows through the superconducting solenoid causing the magnetic field generated by the parallel solenoid circuit to position the magnetic valve in a particular state (e.g., open). The position of the valve can quickly change in situations where the temperature rises above the threshold temperature.
