P&W J52-P-408 being worked on in the USS Kitty Hawk's jet shop. The Pratt & Whitney J52 (company designation JT8A) is an axial-flow dual-spool turbojet engine originally designed for the United States Navy, [2] in the 40 kN (9,000 lbf) class. It powered the A-6 Intruder and the AGM-28 Hound Dog cruise missile.
Cutting tools are often designed with inserts or replaceable tips (tipped tools).In these, the cutting edge consists of a separate piece of material, either brazed, welded or clamped on to the tool body.
The Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D is a small turbofan engine built by Pratt & Whitney Canada.It was introduced in 1971 at 2,200 lbf (9,800 N) thrust, and has since undergone a series of upgrades to just over 3,000 lbf (13 kN) thrust in the latest versions.
The toolpost is the part of a metalworking lathe which either holds the tool bit directly or holds a toolholder which contains the tool bit. There are a great variety of designs for toolposts (including basic toolposts, rocker toolposts, quick-change toolposts, and toolpost turrets) and toolholders (with varying geometry and features).
Civilian versions have powered business jets such as the Learjet 23 and the Hamburger Flugzeugbau HFB 320 Hansa Jet. The engines are also used in the flyable Messerschmitt Me 262 reproductions built by the Me 262 Project in the United States. A development, the CF700, added a rear-mounted fan mounted directly on the free-running low-pressure ...
