As sandiego89 said, there is 18,000 shaft hp to generate some Kw on the F-35b.
Those that know, seem to focus on the generation unit heat being the problem.

LO, you keep telling me how heavy the f-35b fan and engine system is, what is the weight of just the fan system?
Other than on the 6th gen gripen that a laser weapon would make it 10th gen. Can you also tell me more about the future. When lasers on fighters are in question because "the nature of air combat will have changed dramatically" I would love to know what will be the weapon systems then.

on another topic.
