I have noticed in most videos and still photos of the F-35 in flight; that they often appear to have visible wing tip vortices even in straight and level flight.
Is this a design flaw? I would expect to see them when pulling g at high speed but not during AAR behind a tanker!
It can't be a great feature in a 5th generation stealth fighter; unless it makes the opposition think they're pulling more g than they actually are.
Am I missing something here?
