    An F-15E Strike Eagle engine, the F100-PW-220, goes through a routine afterburner test at Kadena Air Base, Japan, Aug. 12, 2025. An afterburner increases a jet engine's thrust by injecting fuel directly into the exhaust stream, using the remaining oxygen to burn it, heating and expanding the exhaust gases further.
