General Electric J73
The General Electric J73 was a turbojet jet engine of the U.S. manufacturer General Electric.
It is an enlarged development of the General Electric J47 and is designed like this as a single- Axialtriebwerk. The initial flight testing was performed with a modified Boeing B-29. The engine was used in production use exclusively in the North American F - 86H.
Tentatively, a Republic F -84 equipped with a J73 engine, this machine was designated YF- 84J. But due to the cost, there was no conversion of the already supplied F- 84th The engine was of the Lockheed U -2, without having to be actually used therein McDonnell F3H -3 and is provided as an alternative for the unexecuted Boeing XB -59.
The J73 was the basis for the further development of the General Electric J79.
