The General Electric J97 is a single-shaft turbojet designed and built by General Electric as a compact, high-performance engine for light attack fighters and eventually a number of drone projects. It was based on the GE1 and J1 series of turbojets, and its development was financed by the United States Air Force. The original intended application was the Northrop P-530, which later evolved into the YF-17, but the engine was ultimately used only in several small drone aircraft, among them the Boeing YQM-94 B-Gull and the Ryan AQM-91 Firefly. The J97-GE-17 variant, with 11,760 pounds-force of thrust, was proposed for the Super Dynamics O4-1B Robin supersonic business jet, while the standard variant is the J97-GE-100.
