Guys,
I know that the baseline AIM-120 internal load was four (2 per bay), but I have seen some info suggesting that LM and the DoD have been working on three per bay. I think that was linked to a 'compressed carriage' version. No difference between the variants on AIM-120 capacity as far as I know.
MBDA showed a clipped fin version of the Meteor in 2010 that was being designed to allow two to go in each bay. I'm not sighted on how far the UK have got with getting Meteor into the F-35 weapons integration programme.
Hope this helps,
Best regards as ever to those working the programme,
Engines
