Actually I think the goal is to remove not just the control surfaces
but the whole (vertical) tail (see X-36). 
The X-31 demonstrated pretty successfully that thrust vectoring is
indeed doable.

Does Anybody know if the X-31 autopilot was written in Ada ?
( Is anybody from  Daimler-Benz Aerospace reading this ? )
