OEW = Operating Empty Weight - WHO KNEW?
Thanks for defining OEW. How is a 2002 specification - which you have not specified (a link would be nice) for OEW be relevant now in 2013? It is obvious is it not that the F-35B is able to operate in STOVL mode according to KPPs. Where is the issue? If you have up to date figures that define OEW today that would be good. Do you have also the max. vertical landing weight on a specific temp/altitude day also for the F-35B? Humour me some more.
