Jet Fighter Full Afterburner Takeoff . Red Flag 20-1 Night Operations

Various aircraft taking off during Red Flag 20-1. Aircraft include B-1B Lancers, E-3 Sentry AWACS, F/A-18F Super Hornet, EA-18G Growlers, F-16s, F-35A Lightning IIs, and F-35B Lightning IIs.

An afterburner is a component present on military supersonic aircraft. Its purpose is to provide an increase in thrust, usually for supersonic flight, takeoff, and combat situations. Afterburning is achieved by injecting additional fuel into the jet pipe downstream of the turbine. Afterburning significantly increases thrust without the weight of an additional engine, but at the cost of very high fuel consumption and decreased fuel efficiency, limiting its practical use to short bursts.

Pilots can activate and deactivate afterburners in-flight, and jet engines are referred to as operating wet when afterburning is being used and dry when not. An engine producing maximum thrust wet is at maximum power, while an engine producing maximum thrust dry is at military power.
