[QUOTE="L8APEX, post: 16855487, member: 51947"] Yes, the A, B, and C are all different, with the B being configured for the STOVL role for the USMC and Royal Navy Carriers. They use a less efficient low bypass engine than the higher bypass model found in the A and C that cuts it's range down, but offers similar performance. Higher bypass compressor is too long to fit the Bravo. Honestly they are more 3 similar aircraft than 3 variants. The Navy's C is actually a bit bigger than the other 2 with a wingspan at 43ft (larger fuel reserves and more robust gear, along with tailhook and nose probe), the A and B are just 35ft (and should out maneuver a C). Aside from keeping an internal gun on the A (they a have a centerline pod, like the F-4 for the B, and C after they no longer need stealth) it seems like a repeat of the sins of the century series fighters, "With air to air missiles, there will be no dogfights!" The F-35 can do about anything in the air but not really be the master of any of those capabilities, as with all big projects routed via congress it was more a jobs program that makes planes as a byproduct. There are issues and deficiencies that need addressed. [/QUOTE]
