How do military aircraft like the F-16 achieve supersonic speeds? It’s all thanks to the afterburner. An afterburner is made ...

The afterburners on the Olympus engines that powered the Concorde supersonic jet added only about 17 percent to that engine’s thrust. For the engines that power modern fighters, the increase ...

When the afterburner isn't engaged and the jet is flying at cruising speed, the engine acts as a typical turbojet. It might add an extra 50% of thrust, but pilots have to use the afterburner ...

Welcome back to the Daily Aviation for a new documentary video about the US General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon and its ...

GE Aerospace made public the accomplishments of a particular F404 engine that was flown on three different aircraft over the ...

The tests were aimed at verifying the performance of the X-59's General Electric F414-GE-100 jet engine, a modified version of the engine used in Boeing's F/A-18 Super Hornet flown by the U.S. Navy.

For example, while the T-38 Talon's engines produce 2,050 pounds of dry thrust (no afterburner), once the afterburners kick in, it jumps to 2,900 pounds, an increase of 850 pounds of thrust.
