Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor/Engine types

The F119-PW-100 turbofan is the first operational fifth generation fighter engine. It combines stealth technologies and vectored thrust with high thrust-to-weight performance to provide unprecedented maneuverability and survivability. Two Pratt & Whitney F119 engines power the U.S Air Force’s F-22 Raptor.

What is special about F-22?

The Definition of Air Dominance The 5th Generation F-22’s unique combination of stealth, speed, agility, and situational awareness, combined with lethal long-range air-to-air and air-to-ground weaponry, makes it the best air dominance fighter in the world.

Is the F-22 top speed classified?

The Lockheed F-22 Raptor is a force to be reckoned with: While this jet’s top speed is classified, its published speed is Mach 2.42 (more than twice the speed of sound).

How many engines does the F-22 Raptor have?

two
F-22 engine The F-22 is powered by two Pratt and Whitney F119-100 engines.

What kind of engines does the F-22 have?

The F-22 incorporates a pair of new, higher thrust-to-weight engines, the Pratt & Whitney F119-PW-100, which is designed for efficient supersonic operation without afterburner (called supercruise), and with increased durability over current engines.

What makes the F-22 Raptor so advanced?

Advanced technologies incorporated in the F119 include integrated flight-propulsion controls and two-dimensional, thrust-vectoring engine nozzles, which give the F-22 unprecedented aircraft maneuverability.

What kind of nozzle does the F-22 have?

The F119 engine nozzle for the F-22 is the world’s first full production vectoring nozzle, fully integrated into the aircraft/engine combination as original equipment. The two-dimensional nozzle vectors thrust 20 degrees up and down for improved aircraft agility.

What is the thermal efficiency of an engine at full load capacity?

An initial appraisal of the engine thermal efficiency at full load capacity indicates a heat-to-power ratio of 1.56:1, representing a thermal efficiency of 39.1\%, when calculated on the saturated lower calorific value of the fuel = 32.9 MJ/m 3 (≅ 39.1 MJ/m 3 dry gross saturated lower calorific value).
