#Westinghouse j34 turbine engine parts plus#
The Navy Bureau of Aeronautics ordered two X24C units plus spares in 1945, and, by 1946, four models were under development, including the X24C-2/-4A/-4B/-6.Īpproximately 5,000 Westinghouse 24C (military designation J34) engines were built. Designed to weigh 454 kg (1,000 lb.) and develop a static thrust of 13,344 N (3,000 lb.), it was intended to be better for use in a two-engine fighter than Westinghouse's earlier X19B turbojet. The Westinghouse J34, company designation Westinghouse 24C, was a turbojet engine developed by Westinghouse Aviation Gas Turbine Division in the late 1940s. Turbine B Westinghouse J34WE-36A S/N 210406 632.2 SMOH Engine has been maintained by the State of Oregon Forestry service for fire team. Used in many vintage, government aircraft's and jet boats. Essentially an enlarged version of the earlier Westinghouse J30, the J34 produced 3,000 pounds of thrust, twice as much as the J30. Here we have for sale this Single Westinghouse Turbine engine removed from a Lockheed Neptune P2V. In response to the 1941 Special Committee on Jet Propulsion of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, the Westinghouse proposed development of a turbojet engine, but started development without a contract.ĭevelopment of the third in the Westinghouse turbojet series, the X24C, began in 1944. The Westinghouse J34 was a turbojet engine developed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation's Aviation Gas Turbine Division in the late 1940s.
