Notice how the Elevator (the rear wing) becomes Flap's as it leaves the ground. Normaly in a conventional aircraft. if you had the Elevator in the position that the F-35 has in this video at take off you would be swimming. It's is so weird how computers and Fly by wire has changed flight. Control surfaces we can now do things we never thought they could or would do.
