i write all in german and than i use google translate, maybe there are translation failiures.
gajin said “Secondary sources must be from independent authors or specialized publishers.”
i hope i made this correct
so i have:
Secondary Source A (Technical Literature)

Pocketmags
Combat Aircraft Journal Magazine - F/A-18 Hornet Special Issue.
- Technical article: “Air & Space Forces Magazine”
Title: The Super Hornet
Author: John A. Tirpak (or editorial team)
Content: Confirms the thrust class of 22,000 pounds (98 kN) per engine and the top speed of Mach 1.8+.
and at the end the engines are used by the F/A18-E and in the Gripen-E (F414-GE-39E (GE RM16))
Saab said here: A Look at Gripen E’s Choice of Power
that The Gripen E-series has a new and more powerful engine, F414-GE-39E turbofan, developed by General Electric. The engine offers 25 percent more thrust (up to 22,000 pounds with powered afterburner) resulting in an improved air-to-surface capability and enhanced electric airborne attack.
