No, not really. EJ200/F119/F135 also smokes in whatever conditions.I think this might answer our engine questions
Interesting that they have external Luneburg lenses equipped instead of the internal one that we saw in Zhuhai.
I've actually never seen F-35 smoking while F-22/J-20 are both known to smoke when coming off burners
A BPR of 0.57 (?) helps.
And it does smoke in demanding throttle conditions, just like any other engine:
It seems only J-35A has been spotted with retractable lens
I'm aware of a degree of smoke happening in mil power when adding/reducing thrust on just about all types but the level of smoke we see here and at Zhuhai look closer to the RD-33 originator. WS-10s smoke less than this so I have no doubts this can be accomplished.
