The General Electric J47 is a turbojet engine developed in the late 1940s. It was designed for use in various military aircraft, including the McDonnell F2H Banshee and the North American F-86 Sabre. The J47 was notable for its reliability and performance, contributing to the advancement of jet propulsion technology during its time. This engine features a single-spool design and was one of the first to utilize an axial-flow compressor. With a thrust output of around 5,000 pounds, the J47 played a significant role in the early years of jet aviation, helping to establish the foundation for future engine developments.
