IIRC, F-35 had to meet spec weights at LRIP7. We are well beyond the first LRIP7 delivery -- without fanfare.
OWEs will increase for the life of the program, as they do in all programs.

The old URL for the 1996-FY2008 SAR is offline.
Here is the new home and I attached it just in case it goes dark again.

Did the engine specs change? Or has someone in the PR department simply gotten lazy? Or did they mean "40,000 lbs Max. thrust class"
P&W F135 engine website still lists the CTOl variant as
Engine Characteristics
Maximum thrust class 43,000 pounds (191.3 kN)
Intermediate thrust class 28,000 pounds (128.1 kN)
Length 220 inches (5.59 m)
Inlet diameter 43 inches (1.09 m)
Maximum diameter 46 inches (1.17 m)
Overall pressure ratio 28

Sorry. My bad.

The latest F-35 GM weekly update PDF is not the right one. It is an old - one year out of date - PDF. The date is supposed to be 3/13/17 however the link is to one dated 3/17/16. Someone has dyslexia.

LM still has the same stupid one year old LM GM PDF - e-mailing them about it brings no result - what a bunch of fwits. Then there are the 'revised' March Fast Facts and Program Status 'revised' attached. What is revised? Dunno.

This li'l lot snuck in late I reckon - probably juggling the USMC upgraded numbers of F-35Bs I reckon.

Thanks 'Dragon029'. Some numbers have changed....
Estimated Combat Radius NM for F-35A = 669
Estimated Combat Radius NM for F-35B = 505
Estimated Combat Radius NM for F-35C = 640
[Addition which will be repeated elsewhere]

"F-35 Unit Cost Dec 2016 SAR
The DoD average F-35 Aircraft Unit Recurring Flyaway (URF) Cost consists of the Hardware (Airframe, Vehicle Systems,
Mission Systems, and Engineering Change Order) costs over the life of the program. The URF assumes the quantity
benefits of 132 FMS aircraft and 609 International Partner aircraft.
The current estimate for F-35 total procurement quantity increased from 2443 to 2456. This is the result of an increase of 13 F-35B aircraft to be procured by the United States Marine Corps (USMC). The increase is reflected in both the aircraft and engine subprogram and results in a change from 680 to 693 in the Department of Navy Aircraft Procurement accounts. The USMC validated this requirement through the Marine Corps Requirements Oversight Council (MROC). The additional aircraft are fully funded and the funding is reflected in the FY 2018 President's Budget submission. The additional aircraft were added after the completion of the congressionally directed Department-wide fighter mix study. The strategic review will assess future tactical fighter force inventory requirements across the Department.
F-35A (Conventional Take Off and Landing) URF - $67.7M (BY 2012)
F-35B (Short Takeoff and Vertical Landing) URF - $77.1M (BY 2012)
F-35C (Carrier Variant) URF - $78.1M (BY 2012)"
