Yes, the C172p. At least and the F-104, F-15 and F-16 are based on
windtunnel data. The T-37 is partially based on flight test

And Both the Fokker 70/100 and Fokker 50 use available data where possible.
None of them are extensively

I think this is always the case. Take the B-29 for instance. Josh has
