Curtiss-Wright Derivatives

  • TJ-32 - J67: Examples of the BOl.1/2A were delivered to Curtiss-Wright in 1950. The engine was Americanised during 1951 and flew under a Boeing B-29 testbed as the TJ-32. To meet a USAF demand for an engine in the 15000 lb thrust class, the engine was the subject of a development contract, redesigned and designated J67. Development was protracted and in 1955, the USAF announced that there would be no production contract for the present J67. Several aircraft had been intended to receive the J67 including the Convair F-102 Delta Dagger.
  • T47: The T47 was an attempt to produce a turboprop based upon the J67.
  • TJ-38 Zephyr: See Olympus 551 (above).
