Propjet and Turbojet Engines

Development of AeroFiles' jet engine section is underway, and herewith are the preliminaries, the early burners. More will be added as we get to them.

Listings show model designation (bold face) and year of first manufacture (c. = circa), ATC/TC (in parentheses); engine thrust in pounds (#); type of engine (Tfan = turbofan, Tjet = turbojet, Tprop = turboprop, Tshaft = turboshaft, Rjet = ramjet, LOx = liquid oxygen); compressor type (A = axial flow; C = centrifugal; MF = mixed-flow) and number of stages; designer; ? = unfound or uncertain data.
