Do they do without?

Note the complete lack of them on any stealth planes in evidence.
While
adding some aerodynamic advantages, they also blow the stealth
characteristics.

You men like the 8 inchers added to the F-22 wings?

Funny, none of the official photos from the first production batch seem
to have anything like this. Maybe they stuck some on for one or two
flight tests, but they're sure not there on current F-22s.

The wing parts were added to correct the wash across the tail occuring for
the "entire flight envelope". Unless Lockmart has addressed the tail crack
issue in a different manner, the 8 inch wing "reflectors" have to be there.
