Yah, more weight more drag, basically same engine.   Slight adjustment to flight program.   Plus a lot of code for  weapon and battle mgmt, when it comes.   A lot of little flight buddies to do the work.  The heaviest depot maintenance effort will be managing and updating that software! It's always behind the latest schedule!! h On 1/27/2026 16:20, Marc Liebman wrote:

The only thing in common between the A, B and C is the nose/cockpit section, the engine and the mission avionics. The fuselage barrels are all different and the C has bigger wings and tail surfaces. The Cs also have the cooling and computer capacity for the Block 4 software update as well as others.
