Not by the looks of it. But here's an interesting tidbit: the raptor has a smaller radar cross section than an f-117, at least that's what the air force is claiming on TV documentaries. I know that the B2 achieves at least part of it's stealth by not using aerodynamic control surfaces if at all possible when in combat. Differential thrust for turns, god only knows what for AoA control. So while those vectored nozzles look cool at an airshow, they are really valuable in making you look like a piece of sky when operating.
