 | The advantage of afterburning is significantly increased thrust; the disadvantage of afterburning is its very high fuel consumption and inefficiency but this is acceptable for the short periods in which reheat is usually used. |
| A jet engine afterburner is an extended exhaust section containing extra fuel injectors, and since the jet engine upstream (i.e., before the turbine) will use little of the oxygen it ingests, the afterburner is, at its simplest, a type of ramjet. |
| When the afterburner is turned on, fuel is injected, which ignites readily, owing to the relatively high temperature of the incoming gases. |

| The Afterburner lighting kit by Triton Labs is an aftermarket modification to the Game Boy Advance in which a frontlight is installed into the unit. |
| Upon the release of the Game Boy Advance in June 2001, a vast number of gamers complained about the screen's poor visibility; with no internal backlight or frontlight the LCD was only visible in direct light, too much of which would cause glare. |
| The Afterburner greatly improves screen visibility at the cost of 25% to 30% battery life reduction. |
