Individually deflectable, segmented, vortex flaps are provided on the leading edges of a delta wing supersonic aircraft to permit selective lateral and directional control moments to be created on the aircraft at high angles of attack, where conventional elevons and rudders have become ineffective. By selectively deflecting the segmented vortex flaps simultaneously in the same direction or differentially, the lateral and directional control of high-swept, thin wing, supersonic speed aircraft, at high angles of attack, is improved.
