The Allison J35, formally the General Electric/Allison J35, was the first axial-flow compressor jet engine of the United States Air Force. General Electric designed it as the TG-180, a fairly simple turbojet with an eleven-stage axial compressor and a single-stage turbine, producing 7,400 pounds of thrust with the afterburner most models carried. It first flew in the Republic XP-84 Thunderjet in 1946, and late in 1947 responsibility for development and production passed to the Allison Division of General Motors, with some built by the Chevrolet division. More than 14,000 were made by 1955. It powered the Republic F-84 Thunderjet, the Northrop F-89 Scorpion and early bombers such as the Boeing XB-47 Stratojet, and its redesign became the Allison J71.
