The General Electric J47, company designation TG-190, is an axial-flow turbojet that General Electric developed from its earlier J35. It first flew in May 1948 and was the first axial-flow turbojet approved for commercial use in the United States. More than 30,000 were manufactured before production ceased in 1956, including 3,025 built under licence by Packard, and it stayed in United States military service until 1978. It powered many types of aircraft, among them the Boeing B-47 Stratojet, the North American F-86 Sabre and B-45 Tornado, the Convair B-36 and the Boeing B-50 Superfortress, and it was advertised as an all-weather engine for its anti-icing systems. In the 1950s GE also studied a nuclear-powered gas turbine design based on the J47, and civilian owners still fly J47-powered F-86 Sabres at air shows.
