Pratt & Whitney F119

<p>The Pratt & Whitney F119, company designation PW5000, is an <a href="/facts/Afterburner_(engine)/aDeuyqp3">afterburning</a> <a href="/facts/Turbofan/x8XWVw19">turbofan</a> engine developed by <a href="/facts/Pratt_%2526_Whitney/DI4FhYep">Pratt & Whitney</a> for the <a href="/facts/Advanced_Tactical_Fighter/PVgPf4ox">Advanced Tactical Fighter</a> (ATF) program, which resulted in the <a href="/facts/Lockheed_Martin_F-22_Raptor/uGSDLBu9">Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor</a>. The engine delivers thrust in the 35,000 lbf (156 kN) class and was designed for sustained supersonic flight without afterburners, or <a href="/facts/Supercruise/4h2k11nH">supercruise</a>. Delivering almost 22% more thrust with 40% fewer parts than its <a href="/facts/Pratt_%2526_Whitney_F100/c8B0aHYw">F100</a> predecessor, the F119 allows the F-22 to achieve supercruise speeds of up to Mach 1.8. The F119's nozzles incorporate <a href="/facts/Thrust_vectoring/B0KeV8Wu">thrust vectoring</a> that enable them to direct the engine thrust ±20° in the <a href="/facts/Flight_dynamics/YovEIsxu">pitch axis</a> to give the F-22 enhanced maneuverability.
</p><p>The F119 is also the basis for the <a href="/facts/Joint_Strike_Fighter/0JXzRYfw">Joint Strike Fighter</a> (JSF) propulsion system, with variants powering both the <a href="/facts/Boeing_X-32/HbpHYfTS">Boeing X-32</a> and <a href="/facts/Lockheed_Martin_X-35/Cl6n6HKT">Lockheed Martin X-35</a> concept demonstrators. The X-35 won the JSF competition and the production <a href="/facts/Lockheed_Martin_F-35_Lightning_II/x0NWsvfC">Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II</a> is powered by an F119 derivative, the <a href="/facts/Pratt_%2526_Whitney_F135/mpxRw6z9">Pratt & Whitney F135</a> which produces up to 43,000 lbf (191 kN) of thrust.
