The second X-48B was modified into the X-48C starting in 2010 for further flight tests. [19] The X-48C has its vertical stabilizers moved inboard on either side of the engines, and its fuselage extended aft, both to reduce the aircraft's noise profile; it was to be powered by two JetCat turbines, each producing 80 pounds-force (360 N) of thrust.
English: The X-48C Hybrid Wing Body aircraft flies over Rogers Dry Lake on Feb. 28, 2013, from NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards Calif. The long boom protruding from between the tails is part of the aircraft's parachute-deployment flight termination system.
The first flight with one of these engines took place on 22 February 2007, using a Boeing 747-100, fitted with one GEnx engine in the number 2 (inboard left hand side) position. By fall 2019, General Electric was offering the GEnx-2B, developed for the 747-8, for the revised 767-XF variant based on the 767-400ER, but needed enough volume to ...

Sporting a 22:1 pressure ratio, which was a record for single-spool compressors at the time, the GE27 [3] was GE's unsuccessful submission to power the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft. The GE27 also had a compressor air flow of 27–28 pounds per second (12–13 kg/s) and a turbine temperature of 2,400–2,500 °F (1,320–1,370 °C ...
The other production X engine is the ChTZ Uraltrac 12N360 X-12 engine, first produced in 2015, and used in the Russian Armata tank platform. [ 5 ] Several prototype 24-cylinder X engines for military aircraft were developed during World War II, including the Daimler-Benz DB 604 , Rolls-Royce Exe and Isotta Fraschini Zeta R.C. 24/60 , along with ...
The X-44 design had a reduced radar signature (due to lack of tail and vertical stabilizers) and was made more efficient by eliminating the tail and rudder surfaces, and instead using thrust vectors to provide yaw, pitch and roll control. [1] The X-44 MANTA design was based on the F-22. The engine and fuselage would be carried over to the X-44.
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 ...
