LW - Entirely correct, I'm afraid. The problem is that if one end or other of the lift system on the B decides to cease generating Newtons, the airplane emulates a Russian teenage gymnast and turns upside-down in 0.6 seconds.

Test Flying The Joint Strike Fighter

I believe that the auto-eject is armed when the transition button is pressed and that it is activated by aircraft attitude and rate.
