Elytra wings intersect when flying straight down

Is this still an issue in the latest version? If so, can you please add it to the affected versions (or mention it if you are not the reporter).

Yes, it is still present in the 1.17.2 release and i believe (not tested/can't confirm) it is also present in the beta version 1.17.20.20 

I think this is a feature request/working as intended. 
Why do you think that is a bug?

The wings intersect way too much in my opinion. In Java edition they do not intersect that much, they stay at the same place as if the player is standing still with elytra equipped.
