Description
This is a black and white shot of the rear of the two GE F-404 engines on the McDonnell Douglas Boeing F/A-18 Hornet showing the afterburner nozzles which provide the additional thrust and horsepower to the F/A-18 pilot when needed. The afterburner is not much more than a second ignition source behind the engine that significantly increases the horsepower and speed of a military aircraft. I was drawn to this due to the intricate shapes, textures and design of these exotic metal parts.
