WHAT DOES AFTERBURNING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

afterburning

Afterburner

An afterburner is an additional component present on some jet engines, mostly military supersonic aircraft. Its purpose is to provide an increase in thrust, usually for supersonic flight, takeoff and for combat situations. Afterburning is achieved by injecting additional fuel into the jet pipe downstream of the turbine. The advantage of afterburning is significantly increased thrust; the disadvantage is its very high fuel consumption and inefficiency, though this is often regarded as acceptable for the short periods during which it is usually used. 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.

Definition of afterburning in the English dictionary

The first definition of afterburning in the dictionary is Also called: reheat. a process in which additional fuel is ignited in the exhaust gases of a jet engine to produce additional thrust. Other definition of afterburning is irregular burning of fuel in a rocket motor after the main burning has ceased. Afterburning is also persistence of combustion in an internal-combustion engine, either in an incorrect part of the cycle or after the ignition has been switched off.
