Afterburners are only used on supersonic aircraft like fighter planes and the Concorde supersonic airliner.
AFTERBURNER - Thrust augmentation feature of a gas turbine engine.
Al- Airborne interception; radar device carried by military aircraft to aid location and interception of hostile aircraft.
It was more noticeable for the Me 262 as early jet engines (before the invention of afterburners) responded slowly to throttle changes. The introduction of a primitive autothrottle late in the war only helped slightly.
Supersonic aircraft, such as military fighters and bombers, Concorde, and others, make use of special turbines (often utilizing afterburners), that generate the huge amounts of power for flight faster than the speed of the sound.
Flight Conditions include the Mach number, airspeed, altitude, pressure, temperature, and throttle and afterburner settings. There are several different combinations of these variables available for input using the choice button on the input panel.
