F-22A Raptor - F119

The engine delivers thrust in the 35,000 lbf thrust class (156 kN) and is designed for supersonic flight without the use of afterburner (supercruise). Delivering almost 22% more thrust with 40% fewer parts than conventional, fourth-generation military aircraft engine models, the F119 allows sustained supercruise speeds of up to Mach 1.72. The F-119's nozzles incorporate thrust vectoring technology. These nozzles direct the engine thrust ±20° in the pitch axis to give the F-22A superb maneuverability.

F-22 Structure and Engines (1568 words)
The F119 has 3 stages in the fan area, 6 stages in the compressor, and 2 stages in the turbine.
The F119 is in the 35,000 lb (155 kN) thrust class.
The exact figure is classified, but many have speculated that the F119 has a thrust as high as 39,000 lbs, giving a single Raptor a thust level equivalent to the thrust generated by an entire squadron of Korean War-era F-86 Sabres.
Pratt&Whitney F119-PW-100 (550 words)
The tradeoff is higher fuel consumption, a greater amount of heat, and consequently, greater visibility to the enemy.
The F119 has 40 percent fewer major parts than current fighter engines, and each part is more durable and does its job more efficiently.
The F119 cuts requirements for support equipment and labor by one-half, which also saves precious space in airlifters in combat zone deployments.
