However, water has a higher heat of evaporation, and is therefore the only liquid generally used for thrust augmentation today.

The incident aircraft used the thrust augmentation system.

The thrust augmentation for the F-135 in the hover using its higher bypass ratio is about 50% with no increase in fuel flow.

Thrust augmentation in horizontal flight using the afterburner is about 52% but with a large increase in fuel flow.

A reheat system (afterburner) provides thrust augmentation.

New engine exhaust stacks, deflected to match the local flow and with nozzles to increase thrust augmentation, were installed.

The air would be mixed with the exhaust in order to provide thrust augmentation, as well as additional combustion with the deliberately fuel-rich exhaust.

A small amount of high-pressure air is blown into a venturi, which in turn sucks a much larger volume of air along with it, thus leading to "thrust augmentation".

Lab tests showed 55% thrust augmentation should be expected; however, differences in the scaled-up system dropped augmentation levels to 19% for the wing and a mere 6% in the canard.

Convair's mixed propulsion system required a very large air duct to the engine, which supplied not only the jet engine with air, but acted as a supply to the rockets to produce thrust augmentation.

During the fourth orbit burn, the primary and redundant coils of the solenoid flow control valve of 440 newton liquid engine and logic for thrust augmentation by the attitude control thrusters were being tested.

The 3BAS2 configuration of Titan 3B rocket proposed by Martin in mid-1960's would have used for deep space missions with a Centaur upper stage, Algol strap-on for liftoff thrust augmentation.

Free-flight model tests conducted at the NASA Langley full-scale wind tunnel showed the projected thrust augmentation levels were highly optimistic, and that the aircraft would most likely be incapable of vertical flight on the thrust available.

By 1969 the Thor core was being used regularly both in Delta vehicles and in the USAF Standard Space Launch Vehicle (SLV-2), with thrust augmentation and a variety of upper stages.

Early US research on the concept was done by NACA, in Cleveland, OH, leading to the publication of the paper "Theoretical Investigation of Thrust Augmentation of Turbojet Engines by Tail-pipe Burning" in January 1947.
