No, tail surfaces are designed for particular aircraft.
The tail height of an aircraft varies from 2m to 15m.
Taper in aircraft would be things like the central fuselage narrowing down to a much smaller dimension at the tail.
This is to allow the airplane to rotate when it is taking off. (Rotating is when the pilot pulls back, raises the nose of the aircraft, and the aircraft rises into the air). If the aircraft did not have this raised tail-end, a "tail-strike" would happen, which damages the aircraft.
