Just after takeoff, engine no. 3 failed at 350 feet (110 m) and the propeller was feathered (its blades were turned parallel to the direction of flight to avoid drag) [9] by the flight crew. The pilots decided to return to San Juan Airport, reversed their heading , and managed to continue climbing to 550 feet (170 m) when engine no. 4 failed as ...
In 1956, the United States Air Force (USAF) decided that the proposed WS-125 bomber was unfeasible as an operational strategic aircraft. In spite of this, the X211 program was continued for another 3 years, albeit with no target application.

The Pratt & Whitney J58 (company designation JT11D-20) is an American jet engine that powered the Lockheed A-12, and subsequently the YF-12 and the SR-71 aircraft. It was an afterburning turbojet engine with a unique compressor bleed to the afterburner that gave increased thrust at high speeds.
The Avro Canada TR5 Orenda was the first production jet engine from Avro Canada's Gas Turbine Division. Similar to other early jet engines in design, like the Rolls-Royce Avon or General Electric J47. Over 4,000 Orendas of various marks were delivered during the 1950s.
