Afterburners are extremely wasteful of fuel, and thus are only fitted to small military aircraft that have a need for short bursts of extra speed (eg: [[interceptor]]s). An engine using an afterburner is termed to be in "reheat", while use of full throttle without the afterburner is termed "full military". Some aircraft are now capable of achieving supersonic speeds without reheat. This is known as "supercruise"
