F135-600 power rating?

[geforcerfx]

So I find some conflicting data on the power rating for the -600 variant (stovl) most of the stuff I have seen from Pratt say it's 41,000lbs in max burner and 27,000lbs in mil power, the -100 being 43,000lbs and 28,000lbs. So then I see the T/W for the B version listed in a few places and they typically have it listed at .90 for full fuel, but at the loaded weight I figured(47,700lbs) that's showing a 43,000lbs max thrust, 41,000lbs put it at .86 (just behind the A's .87). So I would assume Pratt is not lying and the -600 is 41,000lbs so the loaded T/W is somewhere just beneath the A versions correct?

There are all kinds of numbers out there and this detail has been discussed before. But hey find where eh....

I'll find this quote in the forum quite a few times - for the moment this text block will suffice: Kjelgaard author.

"...The Rolls-Royce LiftSystem
One of the most remarkable features of the F-35 programme is that when the STOVL F-35B is hovering, its propulsion system produces very nearly as much thrust without afterburner as the engine does in forward flight with its afterburner fully lit. The F-35B’s engine has to produce 39,400lb (176kN) of vertical thrust without afterburner in hover mode, while in conventional flight it produces 28,000lb (124.55kN) of dry thrust and 43,000lb (191.27kN) with full afterburner.

The F135-powered F-35B relies on two systems to achieve the high level of vertical thrust. First is its full authority digital engine control (FADEC) unit – computers made by BAE Systems and attached to the engine, but running on Pratt & Whitney proprietary FADEC software. In hovering flight, the FADEC computers make the engine work harder, allowing it to increase dry thrust from 28,000lb to 39,400lb without using afterburner….

...When the F-35B is hovering, the driveshaft delivers 28,000 shaft horsepower to the LiftFan’s clutch-and-bevel-gear system so that the LiftFan provides 20,000lb (124.55kN) of downward thrust as a column of cool air. (In the F-35B’s hover mode the coupled F135 - driveshaft arrangement acts exactly like a turboprop engine, except that most of its power
output is used to drive air vertically rather than horizontally, so the F135 is actually the world’s most powerful turboprop engine when installed in the F-35B.) In hover mode another 15,700lb (69.84kN) of thrust exits the engine exhaust as hot gas and is directed downwards at the rear of the aircraft by the aircraft’s three bearing swivel module (3BSM)….

...In the F-35B, 3,700lb (16.46kN) of thrust in the form of bypass air is directed out to the two roll posts while hovering...."
