Used in fighter jet engines afterburner systemsIt provides aircraft with a significant speed advantage by providing additional thrust to the engine. However, in traditional systems, this thrust radically increases fuel consumption and causes loss of efficiency. Afterburners are typically used in supersonic flights, combat situations such as dogfights, or situations where rapid acceleration is required, such as short takeoffs or emergencies.
US army newest F-35 To prevent potential damage from the stealth fighter’s afterburner only about a minute It requires that it can be used continuously throughout the period. Equipped with two motors more powerful F-22 even when the afterburner is activated triple the fuel consumption exhaust smoke turns red and occasionally emits black smoke due to incomplete combustion. Continuous use do not damage the engine may also bring risks.
In this new system, fuel moves along a Z-shaped path and is sprayed from different angles. Thus, fuel droplets spread in a fan shape and mix effectively with air in a larger area. The system operates on fuel pressure alone; It does not contain any moving parts or electromagnetic components.
One of the biggest advantages of this design is its durability and energy efficiency. As Wang and his team explained, the system maintains engine stability even under the highest operational loads and ensures the long-term use of the aircraft. Meanwhile, the technology has already been patented.
