Interesting to note where is (or seems to be) the static gravity center.

It looks like there's a third hoist point behind the cockpit being used, so the lower posts likely are not on the static center of gravity.

I do believe the Hoist behind the cockpit is also to allow for different angles of..Nose up/Nose down.

As I have previously read, the F22 uses a device that increases it's RCS intentionally, and can be seen in photos.
Does the F35 have radar enhancement like the F22?...Do international airspace rules require some sort of minimal RCS figure to be cleared in public airspace?.or is IFF sufficient for military aircraft? And would the protrusion/antenna (in a similar position on the F35) as the F22 device be it?
Thanks, Happy Newyear all.
