  1. F119 engine class thrust range is in the 35,000 lbs. (x2)

    A USAF general mentioned actual thrust of 37,000 lbs, while another official website said 39,000 lbs.

    We don't know if thats with or without afterburner. Official sources only go so far.

    Forums, however, have a bunch of people in them running their own engine performance simulations and calculations.

    They say dry thrust would be 3/4 of max thrust. Which would give "

    If it's really cranking out 39K and the dry thrust is really close to 3/4ths, then it's dry thrust might be about 29K. Seems a little high but you never know. " Previous jet engines like the ones on the F-16 or -15 had their dry thrust at 2/3 of max thrust.

    another put it as

    "Its been mentioned that the Raptor on dry thrust is d**n near performing like an Eagle in burner."

    whatever it is the actual thrust is, the F-22's thrust to weight ratio is the best, even when it is at combat load compared to a f-16 with no load.
