It produces a maximum dry thrust of 3,150 lbf and an afterburning thrust of 4,224 lbf.
It has a single-spool eleven-stage axial compressor, annular combustors, and a two-stage turbine. J34-WE-30A: 3,150 lb (14.0 kN) thrust (4,224 lb (18. The F6U-1 was powered by a single Westinghouse J34-WE-30A turbojet engine. Most guys use the newer J60, which weighs about 500 pounds, he said. J34-WE-17: 3,370 lb (15 kN) thrust (4,850 lb (21.6 kN) thrust with afterburner) King said the J34, which maxes out at 12,000 RPM on the turbine, is obsolete in jet-dragster circles. The J46 engine was developed as a larger, more powerful version of Westinghouse's J34 engine, about 50% larger. company to produce a practical afterburner. The afterburner was developed by Solar Aircraft, the first U.S. Later models produced as much as 4,900 lbs with the addition of an afterburner. It had a combustor section with 20 tubes (not interconnected at first), a single stage turbine and an adjustable jet exhaust nozzle. For instance, the Douglas X-3 "Stiletto" was equipped with two J34 engines when the intended Westinghouse J46 engine proved to be unsuitable.ĭeveloped during the transition from piston-engined aircraft to jets, the J34 was sometimes fitted to aircraft as a supplement to other powerplants, as with the Lockheed P-2 Neptune and Douglas Skyrocket (fitted with radial piston engines and a rocket engine, respectively). Westinghouse J34 Project Jan 2017 - May 2017 Led a 4 person team through disassembly, inspection, and reassembly of a Westinghouse J34 turbine and its components as part of a semester long project. Built in an era of rapidly advancing gas turbine engine technology, the J34 was largely obsolete before it saw service, and often served as an interim engine. Then comes the actual engine section which looks similar to the compressor but is designed to harness the combustion pressure (and. After this comes the fuel injection and combustion stage. For gas turbine generators: This is the compressor stage of the engine. First run on 11 January 1947, the 24C was essentially an enlarged version of the earlier Westinghouse J30, the J34 produced 3,000 pounds of thrust, twice as much as the J30. Westinghouse J34 Turbojet Engine 11 Stage Axial Compressor (SolidWorks). The Westinghouse J34, company designation Westinghouse 24C, was a turbojet engine developed by Westinghouse Aviation Gas Turbine Division in the late 1940s.
