The airframes still date closer in time to the Wright-Patterson Kitty Hawk flight than to today.

How much physics has changed between Kitty Hawk and today?
On a practical level, computer power and FEM etc. have changed aero/astro and the relevant physics at the level you can do engineering with, from people I know in those industries.
These airframes aren't physics, they're engineering.
