J79 - built since 1955
Max AB A8 Exhaust Nozzle Slave Nozzle
GE4 Supersonic Transport Engine
63,200 lbf Thrust
The J93 turbojet was developed by GE for the XB-70. The technology was
used on the GE4 engine for the SST. The GE4 held a single engine thrust
record for many years at 69,900 lbf. Outdoor testing was done at
Peebles, OH, which supposedly resulted in GE buying out many of the
neighbors because of the noise (noise is an understatement). The exhaust
velocity from the GE4 at full power (i.e. takeoff) was in the neighborhood
of 1 mile/second if I recall correctly. Since noise scales with something
like the eighth power of the exhaust velocity this one was a real hummer.
Imagine these taking off at 10:00 pm from your airport.
