It used a unique "diagonal" compressor section that combined the features of both centrifugal and axial-flow compressor layouts for turbojet powerplants, but remained on the test bench, with only some nineteen examples ever produced. In the UK, their first axial-flow engine, the Metrovick F.2, ran in 1941 and was first flown in 1943. Although ...
November: The Junkers Jumo 004 axial-flow engine is tested. November: Gloster Aircraft Company's proposal for a twin-engine jet fighter is accepted, becoming the Gloster Meteor. December: Whittle's flight-quality W.1X runs for the first time. The Lockheed Corporation starts work on the L-1000 axial-flow engine, the United States's first jet design.
The Metropolitan-Vickers F.2 is an early turbojet engine and the first British design to be based on an axial-flow compressor.It was an extremely advanced design for the era, [1] using a nine-stage axial compressor, annular combustor, and a two-stage turbine.
The General Electric J79 is an axial-flow turbojet engine built for use in a variety of fighter and bomber aircraft and a supersonic cruise missile.The J79 was produced by General Electric Aircraft Engines in the United States, and under license by several other companies worldwide.
The Rolls-Royce Avon was the first axial flow jet engine designed and produced by Rolls-Royce. Introduced in 1950, the engine went on to become one of their most successful post-World War II engine designs. It was used in a wide variety of aircraft, both military and civilian, as well as versions for stationary and maritime power.
The General Electric/Allison J35 was the United States Air Force's first axial-flow (straight-through airflow) compressor jet engine. Originally developed by General Electric (GE company designation TG-180 ) in parallel with the Whittle -based centrifugal-flow J33 , the J35 was a fairly simple turbojet , consisting of an eleven-stage axial-flow ...
The Pratt & Whitney J57 (company designation: JT3C) is an axial-flow turbojet engine developed by Pratt & Whitney in the early 1950s. The J57 (first run January 1950 [1]) was the first 10,000 lbf (45 kN) thrust class engine in the United States.
Von Ohain's design, an axial-flow engine, as opposed to Whittle's centrifugal flow engine, was eventually adopted by most manufacturers by the 1950s.
