Also, it is believed that the F-35 employs wireing with electric charge around access panels to dissipate RF waves.

its a bit more complex than that - and the reference is re the B2, not JSF. Its fundamentally regarded as a form of electrostatic management.

Yes I believe the leading edge (beak) on the B-2 performs some sort of electromagnetic function to reduce the signature. Essentially creating a cushion or charged particles that soak up unwanted radiation ala plasma style.

Just another question about f-35 paint. Will we see different camo schemes for the various users or just the standard grey? For anyone who is into that type of thing it would be interesting to see what some of them could look like.

I think there's probably a way to make an unstealthy a/c stealthy using electromagnetic means - problem is how in the hell do you fit the darn thing (and the generator to power it) on the plane.
