The Pratt & Whitney F119, company designation PW5000, is an afterburning turbofan developed for the Advanced Tactical Fighter program, which produced the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. It delivers thrust in the 35,000 pounds-force class and was designed for sustained supersonic flight without afterburners, called supercruise, which lets the F-22 reach Mach 1.8. Its nozzles vector thrust 20 degrees up or down in pitch to give the aircraft extra maneuverability. The production-standard F119-PW-100 first flew on the F-22's maiden flight on 7 September 1997, and the engine is the basis of the F135 for the F-35, with variants having powered the X-32 and X-35 concept demonstrators.
