The J97 was based on GE's General Electric GE1/J1 series of turbojets and the engine development was financed by the United States Air Force. [1] The original application was to be the Northrop P-530 (which later evolved into the YF-17 ), but it was ultimately only used in several small drone aircraft.
In December 1980, Pratt & Whitney changed to a new naming system for its engines and the JT10D became the PW2037.
