Billions of dollars spent on computers and wind tunnels but they still can’t beat the old ways!

Taken from the comments below the photograph

“To answer the question about the dots on the wing, they are little short strings like material glued on the flaps to visualize airflow at the respective area. they are probably are doing some stall performance testing. “
