  Fact Sheets : Boeing B-56A : Boeing B-56A
The B-47C was the initial designation for a design project initiated in January 1950 to redesign the aircraft for four Allison J35-A-23 turbojets in place of the six General Electric J47s.
The original Allison J35-A-23s turbojets had estimated performance of 9,700 pounds thrust each at maximum power (with afterburners) and a normal power rating of 8,200 pounds thrust each.
The actual J35 performance was no where near the estimates (about 7,400 pounds maximum power and 5,600 pounds normal) so alternative engines were proposed.

  Allison J35 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Allison J35 was originally developed by the General Electric Company in parallel with the Whittle-based centrifugal-flow J33, and was the Air Force's first axial-flow (straight-through airflow) compressor engine.
The J35 was fairly simple, consisting of an eleven-stage axial-flow compressor and a single-stage turbine.
The J35 was used to power the X-5 variable-sweep research aircraft and various prototypes such as the XB-43, XB-45, XB-46, XB-47, XB-48, and XB-49.

Allison J35-A-5 turbojets buried inside the wing, four on each side.
Allison J35-A-5 turbojets were mounted in banks of four on either side of the wing.
The J35 turbojets of the YB-49 were extremely thirsty for fuel, and the jet-powered YB-49 had only half the range of the YB-35 that preceded it.

 Allison Engine Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Allison Engine Company was a U.S. aircraft engine manufacturer which was acquired by Rolls-Royce plc in 1995 to become a subsidiary, Rolls-Royce Corporation.
It was this reason in particular that the V-1710 was later removed from the P-51 Mustang and replaced with the Rolls-Royce Merlin instead.
Over the years a family of engines, based on the T56 basic configuration has been developed, culminating in the T406/Allison AE1107 turboshaft for the V-22 Osprey, the Allison AE2100 turboprop, used on newer models of the C-130 and the Allison/Rolls-Royce AE 3007 turbofan which propels many commuter aircraft, such as the Embraer ERJ 135 family.

The J35 was the U.S. Air Force's first axial-flow compressor engine.
It was first developed by General Electric, but in 1947 production responsibility for the engine was given to the Allison Division of General Motors.
The J35 had an eleven-stage axial flow compressor and a single-stage axial turbine.

 Welcome to AvWings
The aircraft was to be powered by a pair of Allison J35 afterburning turbojets, mounted one on either side of the belly of the fuselage just underneath the wings.
The engine air intakes were redesigned to include external boundary layer bleed ramps and auxiliary pop-in doors were added to the nacelle sides to allow additional air to be supplied to the engine during ground runups.
After a rash of engine failures on early F-89Bs, the aircraft were reengined with Allison J35-A-21A turbojets, rated at 5100 lb.st.dry and 6800 lb.st with afterburning.

 The Allison J35 turbojet = the fascinating story of the GE / Allison J35, the first USAF Axial Flow jet
Like the Allison J33 centrifugal jet engine, the Allison J35 was based on a General Electric Design.
A later development of the Allison J35 was produced as the Allison J71, which produced around 10,000lb thrust, which powered powered the Douglas B-66 "Destroyer" and the McDonnell F3H-2 "Demon".

Some sources claim the J35 was a US copy of the de Havilland Goblin centrifugal-flow engine, but in fact the J35 an indigenous American axial-flow design, though it did leverage off British technology.
The major difference was a longer and slenderer fuselage, partly achieved through the elimination of the structure and gear needed for carrier deck operation.
Even with the J35 engine, the aircraft's speed was extremely impressive, roughly 150 KPH (93 MPH) faster than any other operational USAF fighter.

 The Boeing B
With the speed and maneuverability of the fighters of the late forties, Boeing's swept-wing XB-47 won the bomber competition and swiftly transformed the XB-46 and the XB-48 into aviation footnotes.
Six Allison J35-2 turbojet engines slung in pods beneath the swept-back wings gave the prototype Stratojet nimble performance, and helped to validate a design concept still widely used today.
Although uprated J47-GE-3s were soon substituted, the B-47 also carried mountings for 18 solid-fuel booster rockets in the aft fuselage to shorten the takeoff roll.

 Flying Wing
With the end of WW II, and orders being placed for the competing Convair B-36 the fate of the piston engine B-35 was sealed, but Northrop, having forseen this possibility, received approval from the USAF to modify two of the YB-35's to jet power with the redesignation of YB-49.
The second of these aircraft was powered by six 5,600 lb thrust Allison engines, four buried in the wings, and two in underslung pods.
Air force officers gave very complimentary reports on the YB-49, and the service was convinced of the advantages of an all-wing aircraft, but in June of 1948, the second YB-49 was destroyed with the loss of its five man crew, which was attributed to structural failure.

By August 1957, Republic and General Motors had built 1,410 F-84 's for TAC and SAC (USAF) and 1,301 for various NATO forces.The US Thunderstreaks were relegated to units of the ANG in the early 1960s.
The YP-84A was powered by13 Allison engine instead of the General Electric power plant, had tiptanks and was armed with six.50in machine guns, four mounted in the nose and two in the wings.
The basic design of the F-84 was completed before the end of that year after a long series of experiments and plans using various power plants which were being developed at that time.

This was primarily due to severe shortage of spares for the Allison engines.
Although the F-84B and F-84C could not be deployed because their J35 engines had a service life of only 40 hours, the F-84D and F-84E entered combat with 27th Fighter Escort Group on 7 December 1950.
Two F-84Fs were converted into experimental aircraft with an Allison XT40-A-1 turboprop engine of 5,850 shaft horsepower (4,365 kW) driving a supersonic propeller.

Beginning with Block -25 aircraft, the engine was changed once again to the Allison J35-A-33A, creating 5,600 lbs thrust.
The Allison J35-A-33A engine not only had more power, it also featured a redesigned inlet, de-icing equipment, inlet guide vanes, and redesigned forward engine mounts.
Although the F-89C had made its maiden flight 18 September 1`951, the engine and wing failures kept the Scorpion from reaching its intended force levels until 1954.

The Skystreaks were turbojet powered aircraft that took off from the ground under their own power and had straight wings and tails.
All three D-558-1 Skystreaks were powered by Allison J35-A-11 turbojet engines producing 5,000 pounds of thrust.
All the Skystreaks were initially painted scarlet, which lead to the nickname "crimson test tube." NACA later had the color of the Skystreaks changed to white to improve optical tracking and photography.

The prototype flew in late 1946; it was an ugly aircraft, a stubby fat cigar with straight wings and an air intake in the nose, carrying six.50 cal machineguns, three on each side of the nose, and powered by a General Electric J35-GE-2 turbojet.
The first production FJ-1 Fury was delivered in early 1948 with an Allison J35; the aircraft was clearly obsolescent even as it was being delivered, and the production was cut to a total of 30 fighters.
One naval squadron was equipped with the Fury for about a year; the only distinction the type would attain is that it was the first operational jet fighter at sea.
