NASA F/A-18 Jets Show Wingtip Vortices in Flight Experiment

Two NASA F/A-18 jets are captured during an Autonomous Formation Flight (AFF) program experiment. Visible smoke generators outline the twisting paths of wingtip vortices behind the aircraft. This image can be used in aerospace research discussions, aviation technology articles, and educational materials about flight dynamics and experimental aircraft.
