-in the Aviation world airtabs called VG which stand for Vortex Generators.
VG are a bit smaller then AirTabs because of the speed, at some point the drag produced by an add on, diminish the lift created by the VG.
unlike AirTabs, VG performance can be easily observed. the better lift created by the VG allow the wing to hold the weigh of the aircraft at a lower speed.{StellSpeed}
so here we have 2 pilots that needed a rezone to fly, and documented very well the VG add on.:

at same airspeed, same engine power and 2 wing configurations, the amassing effect on the wing lift performance can be seen.
if you ever wondered if AirTab works- wonder no more.
- VG are also used by sportmans in Alaska.
introducing the bush pilots national conventions: so, yes they have championship:
