The J47 was the first axial-flow turbojet approved for commercial use in the United States. It was used in many types of aircraft, and more than 30,000 were manufactured before production ceased in 1956.

The details about the F-47's design remain classified. The air superiority fighter jet will have "significantly longer range, more advanced stealth, be more sustainable, supportable, and have higher availability than our fifth-generation fighters"—that is, the F-22 and F-35. [25][26] He also said it would "cost less" than the F-22, be acquired in larger numbers, be "more adaptable to …

Jul 1, 2019 · Touted as “the all-weather engine,” the J47 was the first turbojet with an anti-icing system in which hollow frame struts allowed passage of heated air from the compressor. Developed largely by Burgess and Joe Buechel, the anti-icing system was key to meeting demanding missions of fighter jets at high altitude.

May 27, 2017 · GE rushed work on a new engine designed to leapfrog German aviation technology, but the U.S.—unlike Germany—wouldn’t get a jet fighter into combat before the war ended. A North American F-86E of the 4th Fighter Interceptor Wing at an Air Base in South Korea, is split in two to replace its J47-GE-13 engine. (U.S. Air Force)

The J47 was developed by the General Electric Co. from the earlier J35 engine and was first flight-tested in May 1948 as a replacement for the J35 used in the North American XF-86 Sabre. In September 1948 a J47 powered an F-86A to a new world's speed record of 670.981 mph.

The J47 was a single-shaft, axial-flow turbojet engine with a 12-stage compressor and single-stage turbine. The engine was initially rated at 5,000 pounds of thrust, but later versions produced up to 7,500 pounds (33,360 N) of thrust with afterburner.

Mar 28, 2017 · In the late 1940s and early 1950s, General Electric assembled more than 30,000 J47 engines, making it the most produced jet engine in history. This 1950 view is from the company’s River Works plant in Lynn, MA.

This J47-GE-17 engine powered the North American F-86D Sabre Jet and the Italian Fiat F-86K.

In 1946, GE proposed to the Army Air Forces the more powerful and fuel efficient TG-190 (later J47) engine to replace its J35 turbojet. An axial-flow compressor was chosen because it offered higher pressure ratios, more power, and overall better performance.

The General Electric J47 turbojet (GE company designation TG-190) was developed by General Electric from its earlier J35 engine. It first flew in May 1948. The J47 was the first axial-flow turbojet approved for commercial use in the United States.
