The turbojet is an airbreathing jet engine which is typically used in aircraft. It consists of a gas turbine with a propelling nozzle . The gas turbine has an air inlet which includes inlet guide vanes, a compressor, a combustion chamber, and a turbine (that drives the compressor).
It excludes turboprop and reciprocating engine powered airliners. It also excludes business jets and aircraft designed primarily for the transportation of air cargo. In addition it excludes military aircraft of all types, even those that are/were developed from or are/were based on the passenger airliners listed.
The J47 design used experience from the TG-180/J35 engine which was described by Flight magazine in 1948 [4] as the most widely used American-conceived turbojet.. The turbojet featured a revolutionary anti-icing system where hollow frame struts allowed heated airflow to pass through from the compressor, allowing fighter jets equipped with the engine to function at high altitudes, and in cold ...

The Boeing KC-135 Stratotankers were all originally powered by turbojet engines. With the demise of many airline 707s, the United States Air Force took the opportunity to buy the surplus airframes and use the engines to re-fit the KC-135As used by the Air National Guard and reserve squadrons with the civilian JT3D (designated TF33-PW-102). Over ...
The prestigious Collier Trophy for 1952 was awarded to Leonard S. Hobbs, chief engineer of United Aircraft Corporation, for "designing and producing the P&W J57 turbojet engine". The engine was produced from 1951 to 1965 with a total of 21,170 built. Many J57 models shipped since 1954 contained 7-15% of titanium, by dry weight.
As certified, the Hansa Jet can carry up to 12 passengers. Its General Electric CJ610 turbojet engines enabled the aircraft to achieve a maximum speed of 900 km/h (486 kn) along with a maximum endurance in excess of 2,200 km (1,200 nmi). [6] The decision to mount these engines far aft contributed to the relatively quiet cabin. [2]
The General Electric J85 is a small single-shaft turbojet engine. Military versions produce up to 3,500 lb f (16 kN) of thrust dry; afterburning variants can reach up to 5,000 lb f (22 kN). The engine, depending upon additional equipment and specific model, weighs from 300 to 500 pounds (140 to 230 kg).
