The Allison J33, formally the General Electric/Allison J33, is an American centrifugal-flow turbojet developed by General Electric from its J31 and enlarged to give 4,000 to 4,600 pounds of thrust, up to 5,400 with water-alcohol injection. In 1945 the production licence went to Allison rather than General Electric because Allison could use government wartime factories to build it faster and more cheaply, and Allison eventually built over 6,600 against about 300 from General Electric. It powered the Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star and its T-33 trainer, the F-94 Starfire, the Lockheed T2V SeaStar, the North American AJ Savage and missiles such as the Martin Matador and Vought Regulus. A civil model, the Allison 400-C4, was the first US gas turbine certificated for commercial transport use.
