This engine was the power plant for the new generation of United States Army Air Corps fighters, plus P-38 Lightning, the P-39 Airacobra, and the P-40 Warhawk. After World War II, the Army decided to take General Electric s version of Frank Whittle s jet engines and give them to Allison to produce instead. The main production model was the Allison J33, of which over 7,000 were produced. Allison also took over GE s axial flow engine design becoming the Allison J35, which was the power plant for the F-84 Thunderjet and the F-89 Scorpion. Over 14,000 Allison J-35 engines were produced Allison also began developing a series of turboprop engines which included the T38, T40, and T56. The latter powered the C-130 Hercules. Allison turboprop engines were also used to re-engine Convair airplanes; which resulted in the Convair 580 turboprop used by Allegheny, American, Frontier, and other airlines.
