A device for controlling attachment line contamination on an airfoil is presented. A fence is installed on the leading edge of the airfoil in the freestream direction perpendicular to the airfoil, outboard of the fuselage boundary layer. The inboard side of the fence arrests the spanwise movement of the turbulent boundary layer while the laminar boundary layer on the outboard side of the fence eliminates any further turbulent contamination of the attachment line.
