CURTISS-WRIGHT TURBO COMPOUND ENGINE

Featuring these important developments in aircraft engines and equipment:
Curtiss-Wright Turbo Compound Engine- The world's most efficient aircraft engine, selected by 30 leading world airlines to power their Douglas DC-7s and Lockheed Super Constellations, and by the military services of the U.S. and allied nations. The 18-cylinder Curtiss-Wright Turbo Compound engine, rated at 3250 to 3700 horsepower, produces the highest power per pound of fuel, the highest power per pound of weight, and the highest power per cubic inch of displacement of any aircraft engine built. Further development of the Turbo Compound will raise cruising speeds of long-range transports into the 400 m.p.h. class.
Curtiss-Wright J65 Jet Engine with Afterburner- The Curtiss-Wright J65 with afterburner has been performance-proved on such advanced aircraft types as the Lockheed XF-104 day superiority fighter and the Grumman F11F-1 carrier-based fighter, both capable of supersonic speed in level flight. Power rating of the afterburner version is classified. The basic Curtiss-Wright J67 jet engine without afterburner is rated up to 7800 pounds thrust. This engine powers six additional advanced military aircraft types. The Curtiss-Wright J65, holder of records for both speed and endurance, is regarded as today's most thoroughly qualified jet engine. . . with a vast growth potential for the requirements of tomorrow.
Curtiss-Wright Electric Propeller- How this and all Curtiss-Wright Propellers change blade positions for various functions is demonstrated by a full-size, operating model. Curtiss-Wright Propellers can be feathered to stop an engine in flight, reversed to provide an aerodynamic brake for landing. These and other blade pitches will be shown. Cutiss-Wright Electric and Turboelectric Propellers are the most efficient means of converting engine power to propulsive thrust.
