The XW2V-1 was a planned radar version of the WV-2 with the Starliner's wings for the US Navy. It would have included four Allison T56-A8 engines and missiles for protection against attackers. Considerably different from its predecessors, given the production designation Lockheed L-084.
A variant proposed in 1995 and paired with Dowty R394 propellers to retrofit the Allison T56-powered Lockheed C-130 models E through H and Lockheed L-100-30, at a price after engine/propeller trade-in of USD$11 million per aircraft.
In 1995, Rolls-Royce bought Allison Engine Company and the engine had its first flight on the EMB-145. The Citation X AE3007C, producing 28.655 kN (6,442 lbf), was certificated by the FAA in February 1995; while the EMB-145 AE3007A, producing 39 kN (8,800 lbf), was certificated in mid-1996. [1]
The Allison T38 (company Model 501) was an early turboprop engine developed by Allison Engine Company during the late 1940s. The T38 became the basis for the very successful family of Allison T56 turboprop engine.
