Phoenix Mill, Gloucestershire, England, UK: Sutton Publishing Limited. Westinghouse J34 Turbojet Engine 11 Stage Axial Compressor (SolidWorks). Steam enters the main turbine at the high pressure turbine through the turbine stop (throttle) and control (governor) valves. World Encyclopedia of Aero Engines, 5th Edition. A cross-section of the turbine is shown in Figure 7.4-1.

Specific fuel consumption: 1.04 lb/hr-lb.

Compressor: Single-Spool, 11-stage Axial.C-119 Flying Boxcar (civilian variant modification).

Дeveloped during the transition from piston-engined aircraft to jets, the J34 was sometimes fitted to aircraft as a supplement to other powerplants, as with the P-2 Neptune and Douglas Skyrocket (fitted with radial piston engines and a rocket engine, respectively). However, equipped with the J34 instead of its intended engines, it was seriously underpowered and could not exceed Mach 1 in level flight. The Stiletto was developed to investigate the design of an aircraft at sustained supersonic speeds. For instance, the Douglas X-3 'Stiletto' was equipped with two J34 engines when the intended Westinghouse J46 engine proved to be unsuitable. The J34 turbojets were primarily used to improve take-off performance and were shutdown for long duration missions, but could be restarted in flight for maximum speed dashes of about 350 mph.Built in an era of rapidly advancing gas turbine engine technology, the J34 was largely obsolete before it saw service, and often served as an interim engine. The RB-69A was powered by two Wright R-3350-32W Turbo Compound radials and two Westinghouse J34-WE-34 axial-flow turbojets.

The sweptwing D-558-II completed its first flight at Muroc (later Edwards AFB) on February 4, 1948. Because it was underpowered with an interim J34 engine, the X-3 failed to achieve the high speeds for which it was designed, but it pioneered in the use of titanium and contributed to the development of aircraft tire technology. Power for the Douglas X-3 'Stiletto' was provided by two XJ34-WE-17s of 3,370 lbs. The McDonnell F2H-2 Banshee fighter jet of 1950 had 2 Westinghouse J34 WE-34 engines with 3000 lbs thrust. thrust, while the XF-88B used two XJ34-WE-19s, each rated at 3,250 lbs. thrust, powered the tiny McDonnell XF-85 'Goblin.' The McDonnell XF-88A used two J34-WE-15 engines, each rated at 3,150 lbs.

Several different series J34s were used in Air Force experimental aircraft during the 1948-1953 period. The Westinghouse J34 ran from about 25 to 30 and up to over 100 hours as production continued. Early I-16s ran 10 to 15 as did the Allison J35 initially The Allison J33 (their version of the I-16) was equivalent to the J31. Model W-340 was satisfactory for operation in icing conditions. The Whittle design that became the RR Derwent was over 100 as were the production GE J31s. Model J34-WE-34 had no provisions for anti-icing the engine inlet and waa not approved for use in icing conditions. The -2 engines incorporate Steward-Davis accessory gear box drive shaft SDD-410A. The J34-WE-34-1, J34-WE-36-1 and the W340-1 engines incorporate Steward-Davis accessory gear box drive shaft SDD-472.

The -15, -17, and -19 engines were fitted with an afterburner for additional thrust when needed. of thrust (depending on engine series) and was twice as powerful as its predecessor. It was an axial flow turbojet with eleven stage compressor double annular combustion chamber, two stage turbine. Developed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation in the late 1940s, the J34 engine was an enlarged version of the earlier Westinghouse J30.
