This J34-WE-22A artifact powered the first flight of the Chance Vought XF6U in 1946, McDonnell prototype F2H in 1947, and the Douglas XF3D-1 in 1948. These powered the Chance Vought F6U-1 Pirate, Chance Vought XF7U-1 and F7U-1/-2 Cutlass, McDonnell F2H-1 Banshee, and Douglas XF3D-1 Skyknight. Originally built in 1951 predating the very first Corvette by two years this engine was set to power any.

The Navy Bureau of Aeronautics ordered two X24C units plus spares in 1945, and, by 1946, four models were under development, including the X24C-2/-4A/-4B/-6.Īpproximately 5,000 Westinghouse 24C (military designation J34) engines were built. This red, white, and blue funny car dragster, dubbed ‘Fireworks USA,’ dispenses with the usual fire-breathing big-block V8 in favor of a jet turbine engine specifically, a Westinghouse J34 Turbo-Jet, for the aviation nerds. Combustor, Exhaust and Nozzle (944016388). Without afterburner approximately 13.1 kN thrust are generated 17.1 kN with afterburner. Media in category 'Westinghouse J34' The following 20 files are in this category, out of 20 total. It is an engine with an eight -stage axial compressor, which produces a compression ratio of about 6,7-8:1, and a two-stage axial turbine. Designed to weigh 454 kg (1,000 lb.) and develop a static thrust of 13,344 N (3,000 lb.), it was intended to be better for use in a two-engine fighter than Westinghouse's earlier X19B turbojet. The General Electric J85 is a turbojet jet engine of the U.S. Essentially an enlarged version of the earlier Westinghouse J30, the J34 produced 3,000 pounds of thrust, twice as much as the J30. In response to the 1941 Special Committee on Jet Propulsion of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, the Westinghouse proposed development of a turbojet engine, but started development without a contract.ĭevelopment of the third in the Westinghouse turbojet series, the X24C, began in 1944. The Westinghouse J34 was a turbojet engine developed by Westinghouse Electric Corporations Aviation Gas Turbine Division in the late 1940s.
