Note the wipers, one wiper for each pane. This image got me wondering. How does the F-22, with its large, bulbous canopy, deal with the rain? The same question could, of course, be applied to the F-35, F-15, etc.

Nope, they do not. They do not need it. The speed does it job and from the bubble canopy the rain simply flows down. *

A hydrophobic surface treatment (similar to Rain-X but more persistent) is applied to the window to (along with bleed air) help with the water-slinging during taxi and at lower speeds. Seems like it had to be applied every 100 hours or so, but I forget a lot these days.
