so I guess you expect the same performance after the modification, right?

more or less They cut them shorter in height but longer in length to make up for the changes.
Well they are not so minor, if you note the missile has been designed for very aggressive optimal kinematic performance with the longer fin for a reason, those longer fins are out of in the clean air, away from the turbulent flow the missile creates as it "plows" through the air. That missile will NOT fit into the F-35 weapons bay. Soooooo........
In order to fit the weapons bay, a shorter, much longer tail fin has been designed, and to be honest, it will still be a very aggressive maneuvering missile, but I can assure you that the longer fin missile will likely out maneuver the shorter fin missile. This because the shorter fins will be operating in the turbulent airflow the missile will generate by its very high speed passage.
No doubt the missile will still be very effective, but for non F-35 applications, it will still retain the longer fins.
NOT QUITE, but still very good, see my more "verbose" response for an explanation.
prolly be a little less maneuverable, but still very good!

I'll leave it to Rocket Scientists now
And when the need is there....BTW even5 % les capable British have planned this missiles funded and don' t have others solutions it is clear in more maybe planned AIM-120 retired and remains to see if Typhoon tranche 1 surely not modernised have only ASRAAM in this case, used for police of the sky in UK others Typhoon Tr 2/3 in priority for overseas deployment ofc but in this case a variant sufficient but much less capable vs Russian bombers yes but not fighters...
Yes but curiously Meteor less agile than AIM-120 and Mica ! 40 vs 50 G i can't say but thinking speed is more important than agility for a no escape zone
I know Brat u say the guy is the king of the pessimistic, for F-35 hehe
I use it agility enough special to find... sorry

and the Meteor is indeed a small rocket, and very high in performance, it even has a "space name" the "Meteor", but a meteor doesn't actually become a meteor until it begins to "burn up" in the atmosphere of earth, before that, its just a "rock" in space???
but then that's "rocket science" for ya, lots of "technical terms" to confuse the layman!
Oh MAN! I pulled a muscle trying to pat myself on the back! Dang that hurts!
better pray for me Bud, I'm teaching "Sunday School" for the preacher in the morning.
AIM-120C customized for F-22 fins do max 45 cm vs 53 A/B allow 6 AIM-120 internaly vs before 4 AIM-120A/B.

Now, now, lets leave big brother out of this, Jura may well be the brightest guy on here, and his skepticism is always a good first response to other peoples ad copy?? I am still a little skeptical of this airplane as well,,,,, lots of promises,,,, lots of disappointments...
President and US Congress killed the F-22 to buy the F-35,,,,, that remains the single most ignorant decision ever made by the US GOVT,,,, well except for promoting Abortion and blah, blah, blah, what a list???? end off topic
The F-35 is inferior in almost every way to the F-22, except sensor fusion and electronic warfare, and the F-22 will do lots of things that no F-35 ever will? but reality being what it is, the F-35 is a very stealthy, very healthy little bugger, and it does on occasion, and possibly more often pull a "rabbit out of the hat". More importantly it does employ that "LockMart" magic aerodynamically.
and we should buy as many as they can build for the immediate future!
