Developed
by General Electric in parallel with the Whittle-based J33,
the J35 was the U.S. Air Forces first axial-flow compressor
turbojet. The J35 first flew in the XP-84 in 1946.
Like the J33, responsibility for developing the
J35 was transferred to Allison in 1946. More than 14,000 had been built by
the time production ended in 1955.
