Maybe not so much for the wings but as a new prop design??

"But the finding has lots of applications on land, too. Putting bumps across the leading edge of a wind turbine means the blades can be oriented at a higher angle to capture more of the wind without worrying about stall -- which can damage the turbines.
They are also targeting industrial fans. "We can move more air and ventilate more area with fewer blades.
The whale-inspired fans also use 20 percent less power and operate with one-fifth the noise of a standard fan, Dewar said."

So... what's the procedure to get a humpback to recover from a stall??? I wonder if they'll spin??? We have gobs of them around here and it's pretty rare to find them a crumpled mess at the end of the runway.
Dr. Fish's work has been around for a while. An article about it in SciAm helped me feel better about the VGs on my FireFly's wings... I've been wondering how they'd work on prop blades...
