The Allison J71 was a single-spool turbojet designed and built in the United States by Allison, a General Motors division. Development began in 1948 as a much modified J35, originally designated J35-A-23, with a 16-stage axial compressor, ten cannular flame tubes and a three-stage turbine. The standard J71-A-2 gave about 10,000 pounds of thrust dry and 14,000 with the afterburner. It powered the Douglas B-66 Destroyer and the McDonnell F3H-2 Demon, after the Westinghouse J40 originally chosen for the Demon proved unworkable, and the prototype Martin P6M SeaMaster flying boats were also fitted with it.
