..••427 FEBRUARY 1959 FLIGHT JT12 J-52 , - « «. .^ ~. „ •--I t *--—- J-57 J-75 I ,,,i • J-58 FATHER OF THE JET WORLD'S "FIRST FAMILY" Powering more types of important modern jet aircraft than any other engine, the J-57 is the father of the world's "first family" of jet engines, all de- signed and produced by Pratt & Whitney Aircraft. -. Success of the J-57 in military and civil aviation is unmatched. It powers nine major types of U.S. Air Force and Navy aircraft. In commercial form, as the JT3, it is the standard power plant in current models of Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8 airliners. Millions of hours of service have proved the J-57 s efficiency, reliability, and stamina. Design excellence of the J-57 has led to develop- ment of other outstanding Pratt & Whitney engines: the JT12, for executive transports, light fighters, reconnaissance aircraft, and drones . . . the J-52 for military aircraft and missiles... the J-75, now power- ing the most advanced U.S. fighter airplanes, and widely-ordered in its commercial version for long- range Boeing 707 s and Douglas DC-8 s . . . and the J-58, an extremely high-powered military turbojet. In all power classes, these Pratt & Whitney en- gines are the "first family" of the jet world.
