	General Electric Engines
		The J47 was developed by the General Electric Company 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".
		General Electric Company (GE) was incorporated in 1892, when it acquired the assets of The Edison General Electric Company, founded by Thomas Alva Edison, and two other electric companies.
		The J47 was inadequate for the new series of supersonic fighters because, at high speeds, the front compressor stages would pull in more air than then rear ones could handle, leading to compressor stall.

	Турбореактивный двигатель General Electric J47
		Двигатель J47 был разработан компанией General Electric на основе раннего двигателя J35 и был впервые испытан в мае 1948 после того, как установлен вместо двигателя J35 на самолете North American XF-86 "Sabre".
		Свыше 30000 двигателей J47 было построено до снятия их с производства в 1956 году.
		J47 был снят с производства в то время, когда последний Boeing KC-97J был списан со службы в Национальной Гвардии в 1978 году.

	General Electric
		General Electric's story begins before 1890 when Thomas Edison organized his various businesses into the Edison General Electric Company.
		Because of an expertise in power generating gas-turbines, the company was approached by the U.S. Army first in 1917 to develop turbochargers, then again in the 1940's to develop jet engines.
		GE got back into the turbojet business with the excellent J47 and has been one of the top aircraft engine companies since.

	General Electric jet engines In the early 1900s
		In the early 1900s, General Electric successfully tested steam and gas turbines.
		The CFM56 core is based on the GE F101 engine (developed for the B-1 bomber) and employs a single-stage high-pressure turbine to drive a nine-stage compressor.
		Take, for example, GE's newest natural-gas generator, a revolutionary advance in power production that breaks an efficiency barrier once believed to be unreachable, and at the same time radically reduces emissions thought to contribute to global warming.

	General Electric J47
		Specifications (J47-A) After losing the J33 and J35 to rival Allison, GE decided to design a J35 replacement.
		Using the same frame size as the J35, the J47 used a new compressor and turbine.
		First flight tested in 1948, the J47 was also the first axial-flow engine in the United States to be approved for commercial use.

		The B-47B was to be built at the government-owned Boeing Plant II at Wichita, Kansas, since the Seattle plants were all committed to the manufacture of the B-50 and the C-97, and the conversion of obsolescent B-29s to tankers.
		The B-47B was powered by six General Electric J47-GE-11 engines and had structural modifications that allowed takeoff weights as high as 200,000 pounds.
		J47-GE-25 engines with water injection were installed, and General Electric radar-directed 20-mm cannon were installed in the tail in place of the 0.50-inch machine guns.

	General Electric J79 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The General Electric J79 is an axial-flow turbojet engine built for use in a variety of fighter aircraft and bomber aircraft.
		Produced by General Electric Aircraft Engines, it was one of the first US-designed engines to outperform designs from the United Kingdom, which had previously led in the jet field.
		J79 was a single-shaft turbojet with a 17-stage compressor with a novel arrangement of variable stator blades which allow the engine to develop pressure similar to a two-stage engine at a much lower weight.

	Convair B-36D Peacemaker
		These turbojets would be used for takeoff and for short bursts of speed during the bombing run, and would have only a minimal effect on the range.
		The B-36D featured two pairs of General Electric J47-GE-19 turbojets in pods underneath the outer wings to assist the six R-4360-41 engines.
		The Western Electric APS-23 radar was of an improved variety with a rapid scan antenna, high-definition radar scopes, data storage tubes that could hold an image on display for a considerable amount of time, K-band tunable radar heads, and flush-mounted antennae.

		The glass was coated with a transparent chemical conductor of electricity, which enabled it to be kept free of ice.
		However, the suitability of the A-2 for the B-47 was deemed too questionable to warrant its retention and it was canceled at the end of 1951.
		Since the A-5 system would not be ready until the end of 1953, a stopgap measure was necessary, and it was decided to retrofit early B-47s with a two-gun turret and an N-6 optical sight.

	USA - the early jet age
		The XP-59A was powered by the first American jet engine, the General Electric I-A, which was centrifugal-flow and based on the W2B design of Frank Whittle.
		It was while visiting the site in 1944 that Stanley Hooker was so surprised at the power of the engines being developed, that he immediately developed a crash program in Britain to produce the high powered Nene.
		General Electric were developing two engines at the time, one centrifugal and one axial, both rated at 1800 kg.

		Until another generation of fighters became available in 1944, the underpowered P-39 shared the role of standard single-seat fighter with the Curtiss P-40.
		Even though General Electric had experimented with industrial turbines late in the nineteenth century, American aircraft engine technology had concentrated on piston engines.

		The aircraft that finally emerged was powered by three General Electric J47 turbojet engines, one in the tail fed by a top air inlet and two in nacelles underneath the forward fuselage.
		The XB-51 was entered in the contest, along with the North American B-45 Tornado and the North American AJ-1 Savage.
		However, its low limit load factor of 3.67 G severely limited its capability during tactical operations, and was generally considered unsatisfactory.
