afterburning engine

During the 1980s, both countries developed slightly different versions to take advantage of the afterburning engines that had since become available.

Later versions introduced radar, afterburning engines and missiles.

The missile flew right up the tailpipe of the Flogger, disappeared in the luxurious heat of the afterburning engine, and exploded.

The afterburning engine was underslung in the nose with the air intake at the extreme nose, and exhaust under the rear fuselage.

Bolan watched the MiGo-23's tailpipe as a pulse of fire strobed from the afterburning engine and the plane flamed out.

In 2007, an additional 24 F404-IN20 afterburning engines were ordered to power the first operational squadron of Tejas fighters.

It rolled down the runway at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, before the twin flames of its afterburning engines.

The first prototype of the Mystere-Delta, without afterburning engine or rocket motor and with an unusually large vertical stabilizer, flew on 25 June 1955.

The F-86D had only 25 percent commonality with other Sabre variants, with a larger fuselage, larger afterburning engine, and a distinctive nose radome.

In June 1959 the squadron traded their F-86Ds for the upgraded F-86L Sabre Interceptor with uprated afterburning engines and new electronics.

The second prototype, equipped with the afterburning engine, became the second supersonic U.S. Navy aircraft, the first being the Douglas F4D Skyray.

It looked like a very large jet fighter or a small, compact bomber, with a long pointed nose, sleek lines, variable-geometry "swing" wings, and two very big, very noisy afterburning engines.

If something went wrong, these radios would not, however, bring in a flight of "fast-movers" whose afterburning engines rattled the sky and whose bombloads shook the ground fifteen minutes after you called for help.

Then he saw the other four wings and the other four tails, the ones attached to the four afterburning engines, the ones that defined the images his brain had refused to recognize- two American F/A-18s tucked under the wings of the EP-3, waiting for them.

In addition to production Mystère IVA, Dassault developed an upgraded Mystère IVB with either Rolls-Royce Avon (first two prototypes) or SNECMA Atar 101 (third prototype) afterburning engine and a radar ranging gunsight.

Armed with 3 23mm cannons but no missiles, it was a faster upgraded MiG-15 fitted with an afterburning engine, and a radar-ranging gunsight reversed-engineered from the F-86A (as well as a new, more sharply swept wing to increase its critical Mach number, therefore top speed).

Such UCAVs could be available in several versions: one with an afterburning engine for maximum performance; one with a non-afterburning engine, but with a thrust-vectoring exhaust for better maneuverability; and one with a conventional non-afterburning engine for low cost.
