There is probably some percentage forward of neutral stablity that they used in def ining where the aft limit should be set. In the case of the F-16=2C I beli eve at its aft limit it has 7% RELAXED static stability=2C but a flight con trol system that constantly moves the tail surface to maintain the pointy e nd forward. The B-2 was neutral to slightly unstable=2C with quad redundan t flight control computers=2C and the F-22 is unstable with triplex compute rs to keep in pointed in the right direction.
