I'm building a (non-RC) 3D/CAD model of the F-22. (

Usually, I can figure these things out in a few minutes, with some drawings and a little CAD work. In this case, I haven't solved the issue yet, which is...
Looking at the Lockheed-Martin front view of the F-22, there appears to be some odd combination of anhedral, twist (washout) and curvature. Having tried many combinations, none of which produced an image like the drawing, I'm wondering if some of you (perhaps a Lockheed-Martin employee) might know why this is. (And, assuming that it's not proprietary, I hope you'll clue me in!)
Thanks in advance for any who know the answer. The images and explanation are at
