Afterburner

An afterburner, also called postcombustion is a propulsion system used on some fighter aircraft to increase the power of their jet engines. Aircraft equipped with afterburners can reach supersonic speeds and perform high altitude maneuvers. The principle of afterburning The principle of operation of the afterburner is relatively simple. When the system […]

Why fighter planes fly in formation

Fighter aircraft often fly in formation for a variety of reasons, including safety and efficiency of flight operations. Formations allow pilots to coordinate their movements and optimize airspace utilization, thereby reducing the risk of mid-air collisions. In addition, training also helps pilots optimize fuel consumption and maximize flight time by reducing aerodynamic […]
