OK, so Thud has a problem reading and discriminating.

I know that he has referenced the same GlobalSecurity page as I have and has selectivly chosen the Quote

'The F119 engine develops more than twice the thrust of current engines under supersonic conditions, and more thrust without afterburner than conventional engines with afterburner.'

But this in itself does not actually say the plane has no burner.

I have narrowed my extract even further, to

"Heat-resistant components give the nozzles the durability needed to vector thrust, even in afterburner conditions."

Kinda implies, pretty explicitly, that the F22 does indeed have an after burner!

The prosecution rests m'lud!
