The F-22 Raptor's two F119 engines generate over 35,000 pounds of thrust, enabling altitudes above 65,000 feet. Unlike many fighter jets, the F-22 can achieve and maintain supersonic speeds without afterburners, a strategic feature known as supercruise that conserves fuel and extends operational range.

Pratt & Whitney has lowered costs on its F119 engines through its on-going Usage Based Lifing program, which leverages real-time data to enhance maintenance efficiency and extend engine life; while also improving the engine's kinematic performance with an engine control schedule update. This latest contract will continue these readiness and cost savings efforts with a focus on safety, availability, simplicity of maintenance, and modernization initiatives.
