An air flow channeling yaw control device includes a vane cover, a vane array, and an actuator. The vane array includes a plurality of vanes, each of the plurality of vanes comprising a first edge and a second edge, the first edge being hingedly coupled to the vane cover and the second edge being hingedly coupled to a wing of an aircraft. The wing includes a leading edge and a trailing edge. The actuator is configured to move the plurality of vanes from a retracted position into a deployed position. The plurality of vanes, when moved into the deployed position, are configured to direct a flow of air flowing over the leading edge of the wing through channels created by the plurality of vanes. The plurality of vanes, when moved into the retracted position, are configured to retract within the wing.
