The 16 pages that link to Afterburner, each with the reason it gives.

• CombustionBroader topic: It uses combustion to increase thrust, at the cost of fuel efficiency.

• TurbofanCompared with: Unlike most turbofans in ordinary operation, it adds heat downstream of the turbine.

• Fighter aircraftRelated: Many fighters use afterburners for rapid acceleration and high-speed flight.

• Jet engineBroader topic: Military aircraft use it for brief thrust increases at the cost of high fuel consumption.

• TurbojetBroader topic: Some turbojets add it for greater thrust, at a substantial fuel cost.

• Jet AgeRelated: Military jets used afterburners for rapid acceleration and supersonic flight.

• ConcordeBroader topic: Concorde used afterburners during takeoff and to accelerate through transonic flight.

• Supersonic transportRelated: Concorde used afterburning to reach supersonic speed, at the cost of greater fuel consumption and noise.

• Supersonic flightRelated: Military aircraft often use afterburners to accelerate through transonic drag.

• Jet aircraftRelated: Military jet aircraft use it for brief increases in thrust, at high fuel cost.

• Interceptor aircraftBroader topic: Afterburners provide the short burst of acceleration useful during an urgent climb or pursuit.

• Supersonic aircraftRelated: It supplies the extra thrust many supersonic jets need to accelerate or cruise.

• Thrust vectoringRelated: Afterburning can supply more force for vectoring but does not itself change thrust direction.

• History of the jet engineRelated: It offered later military aircraft a temporary thrust boost without redesigning the core engine.

• Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21Related: Afterburning engines helped later MiG-21 versions accelerate and sustain supersonic flight.

• Thrust reversalCompared with: Afterburners increase forward thrust, unlike devices that create reverse thrust.
