The Westinghouse J34, company designation Westinghouse 24C, was a turbojet engine developed by Westinghouse Aviation Gas Turbine Division in the late 1940s. The 1,600 lb thrust of the 19XB was achieved primarily by adding 4 additionnal axial-flow compressor stages. This reconfigured engine was designated 19XB. This engine is a Model 24C-2, designed as a booster power plant, incorporating a section capable only of driving accessories necessary for engine operation. Westinghouse submitted to the Navy a proposal for improving the performance and decreasing the weight of the 19B. Westinghouse 24C engines powered the Chance Vought F6U-1 Pirate, Chance Vought XF7U-1 and F7U-1/-2 Cutlass, McDonnell F2H-1 Banshee, and Douglas XF3D-1 Skyknight. Approximately 5,000 Westinghouse 24C (military designation J34) engines were built. By July 1946, four experimental models were under development including the X24C-2/-4A/-4B/-6. In April 1945, the first X24C was test run, and by November 1945, three more engines were placed on test. The J34-WE-36 was used on the Douglas F3D-2 Skynight, and as an aux.

The Navy Bureau of Aeronautics initiated a purchase order in January 1945 for two X24C units plus spares. Display Status: On display Type: Axial-flow turbojet engine Country/Date: US 1945 Overview The J34 was the only truly successful turbojet built by Westinghouse. It was intended to have more possibilities for use in a two-engine fighter than Westinghouse's earlier X19B turbojet.

Object Details Manufacturer Aviation Gas Turbine Div., Westinghouse Electric Corp., Philadelphia, PA Physical Description Type: Turbojet Thrust: 13,344 N (3,000 lb) Compressor: 11-stage axial Combsustor: 1 double annular chamber Turbine: 2-stage axial Weight: 538 kg (1,185 lb) Summary Westinghouse developed the first all-American-designed turbojet engine, and the X24C is the third in the series of Westinghouse turbojets, begun early in 1944. Plans for a re-engined FR-2 and FR-3 had been abandoned after the end of the war, but the XFR-4 with a more powerful Westinghouse J34 jet engine did advance to flight testing.
