yes it does, thats one thing people overlook when regarding it's manuveability is that it has proportionaly huge control surfaces, it's tail wings are as large as some fighter's main wings, and yet they are very quick and responsive to the flight controls. the rudders are used as the airbrake by turning them in opposing directions because the plane does not have a separate airbrake.
That did move. Its the leading edge slat that helps keep airflow attached to the wing at higher angles of attack. The F-22 is as far as I know, one of the first aircraft to have slats that move differentially and collectively to control airflow.
Report to US congress 2007 (GAO-07-406SP on page 78):
The F22 have at least 2 structural problems:
- The F22 have cracks (up to 18 cm)in the aircraft's aft boom where the horizontal tail attaches to the fuselage.
-The F22 have cracs in "titanium casting" materials near the engine.
A key reliability requirement for the F-22A is a 3-hour mean time between maintenance, but right now its LESS than 1 hour! The F22 is junk, its very unreliable!
that jet has some HUGE flight control surfaces!

The Eurofighter have already beaten the F22 - take this source:
"internatinal AIR POWER REVIEW" - year 2006, issue 20, page 45. - ISNB: 1-880588-91-9 (casebound) or ISBN: 1473-9917.

Typhoon may stand at chance but Zeptocomp, the chances of a Typhoon killing an F-22 is 1/100.
