NASA doesn't, but a few aircraft manufactures do. They use it as a baseline to get initial flight model data, DUE TO ITS AIRFLOW CALCULATIONS OVER THE WING!
It is not the end all flight model, but its pretty damn close and can be used to understand how an airfoil will be operate without needing to tie up a supercomputer.
