The General Electric J85 is a small single-shaft turbojet. Military versions produce up to 3,500 pounds-force of thrust dry and afterburning variants reach up to 5,000 pounds-force, with the engine weighing from 300 to 500 pounds depending on model and equipment. It was originally designed to power the McDonnell ADM-20 Quail decoy missile carried by the B-52, and was later built with normal-grade materials to power small jet aircraft including the Northrop T-38 Talon, the Northrop F-5, the Canadair CT-114 Tutor and the Cessna A-37 Dragonfly. Civilian models are known as the CJ610, and the CF700 adds a rear-mounted fan for better fuel economy. The United States Air Force plans to keep flying the J85 through 2040.
