Fas.org needs to update their specs, I think. Lockheed Martin on their website gives the following for the F-35A:

Length 51.5 ft
Height 14.2 ft
Wingspan 35 ft
Wing area 460 sq ft
Horizontal tail span 23 ft
Weight empty 29,300 lb
Maximum weight 70,000 lb class
Internal fuel 18,000 + lbs
Speed Mach 1.6 (~1,200 mph)
Range ~1.200 n. mi
Combat radius 610 n. mi
Power plant One P&W F135 or GE F136
Engine thrust 40,000 lb (with after burner)

Thanks for that correction. I actually checked the Lockheed-Martin website first, but didn’t find what I was looking for.

I went for the www.fas.org numbers with a little trepidation. They ‘looked’ like design spec numbers rather than ‘real’ numbers.

This means that Pierre Spey’s numbers are ballpark, at least.
