Look at a Boeing 737 horizontal tail some time, then look at the LE devices (slats) and VG's all over the airfoils wings, horizontal tail, and rudder! This is true on nearly all transport aircraft. All aircraft fly using the same laws of physics.
These are not copied, but are used from known aerodynamic testing. IF the wings got the same lift without slats (and aileron control at high AOA) why would Boeing, Airbus, and in the past Douglas put them on their aircraft at the cost of millions of dollars during a production run. There is a reason for each item there, the engineer who chooses the aerodynamically correct items has the best performing ~ and last but definitely not least safest flying plane.
