42% MORE TAKEOFF THRUST, 13% LESS FUEL CONSUMPTION with Pratt S Whitney Aircraft's JT3D-1

Turbolan

These remarkable performance qualities result from the incorporation of the turbofan principle in the
famous, thoroughly proved JT3 (J-57) jet engine. The new engine handles 140% more air than the JT3,
although basic twin-spool structure and aerodynamics are essentially unchanged. Dry takeoff thrust
increases from 12,000 pounds for the latest JT3 turbojet to 17,000 pounds for the JT3D-1 turbofan. This
has been accomplished by substituting two fan stages for the first three low compressor stages,
enlarging the third stage turbine and adding a fourth stage. The JT3 turbojet engine can be converted to
the

turbofan configuration in an overhaul shop. Its increased thrust and efficiency greatly widen the range
of installation possibilities. An intensive flight test program began during the summer. Already American
Airlines has announced its fleet of Boeing 707s will be converted to the new turbofan engine. KLM has
decided to use the turbofan in five of its 12 Douglas DC-8s now on order. Also available soon will be the
new, smaller JTF-10 turbofan engine for short and medium range transports. This engine was recently
selected by Douglas Aircraft to power its new DC-9 jet airliner. PRATT & WHITNEY AIRCRAFT Sole Foreign
