Windexglow 10 Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) F-35 Loaded weight: 20,100 kg (44,400 lb) Dry thrust: 25,000 lbf[40] (111 kN) Thrust with afterburner: 42,000 lbf[163] (178+ kN) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-35_Lightning_II SU-35 Loaded weight: 25,300 kg (56,660 lb) Dry thrust: 8,800 kgf[31] (86.3 kN, 19,400 lbf) each Thrust with afterburner: 14,500 kgf (142 kN, 31,900 lbf) each http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukhoi_Su-35 F35 not only has a lower weight, but it has considerably more thrust. However it has less wing-space than the SU-35. So it seems correct. EDIT: yes yes, wiki can be dishonest at times but it offers references. Use those if you question any facts it displays Edited August 5, 2009 by Windexglow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
