I heard a rumor that the F-35 was slower than an F-18C and made w/o a gun...any truth to this?
F-18C with the EPE motors (newer,better) puts out 36k of thrust in full blower, both motors combined. So 40k in blower with one engine, less drag, and probably lighter a/c, there is no way its slower than the F-18C. Wonder what the thrust-to-weight is....
