At the 2:30 mark they put some goop on the wind tunnel model.
With all the Hi-Tech, this part was so old school it blew my mind.
Boom is bringing back commercial supersonic flight

Commercial travelers haven't had a supersonic option since the Concorde stopped flying in 2003, ending 3.5 hour trips from New York to Paris. Boom thinks it can make supersonic passenger jet flight cost-effective for any airliner, across more routes.

When we were at the Darko wind tunnel he said that one of the most popular uses is for athletes.

More than one way to skin a car?
Pardon the lack of wind tunnel.

Factories at Work: In The Ford Wind Tunnel

Ford J Car in the Wind Tunnel
You’d think that Ford would have rested a bit after achieving their drubbing of Ferrari and bringing LeMans victory home. But whether it was just momentum or to silence critics that suggested that the GT40 was more Lola than Ford, FoMoCo decided to bring the design of the next iteration of the GT car more in-house. Keeping the mighty 7 liter of the previous generation, they sculpted a new shape around it in partnership with Kar Kraft. Getting those strings placed right to measure the wind movement over the shape helped refine the aerodynamics of the project that would eventually become the GT40 Mk IV.

Looks like the white wind-tunnel model above is an in-between version of the two below.

World premiere of Mercedes-Benz Aerodynamics truck and trailer at IAA Commercial Vehicle Show

Quote:
To further reduce fuel consumption in truck/semitrailer combinations, Daimler launched its 'Aerodynamics Truck & Trailer' initiative. As part of this, engineers researched the aerodynamics of current vehicle concepts and then developed two innovative and at the same time practicable solutions.
The solutions are relatively easy to put in place in the short term. Last year, the tractor/trailer combination was a spectacular design study, this year it is already a reality: with the new Mercedes-Benz Aerodynamics trailer, a long-haul tractor unit can save approximately 2,000 litres of diesel annually, thereby saving its operator nearly 3,000 euros in expenses...................
