The B-1B Lancer typically uses afterburners for takeoff, especially when operating at maximum weight or in high-altitude, hot weather conditions. Afterburners provide the necessary thrust to achieve the required takeoff performance in these scenarios. However, in certain circumstances, such as lighter loads or optimal conditions, the aircraft can take off without using afterburners to conserve fuel.

Did the you 262 have afterburners?

No, the Messerschmitt Me 262 did not have afterburners. It was the world's first operational jet fighter, powered by Junkers Jumo 004 turbojet engines, which did not feature afterburner technology. Instead, the engines relied on a simple turbojet design to produce thrust. The absence of afterburners limited the aircraft's speed and performance compared to later jet fighters that utilized this technology.
