If the flow is turbulent, then surely just about any technique that adds energy to the boundary layer is going to delay separation?
This is a well known phenomenon. The question is how much energy is being used to get this reduction in drag?Where does this energy come from? Either APUs, or more powerful main engines... which are heavier... which means bigger wings...
