Rockets or jet exhaust?

SincoTC 28th Sep 2011 16:09

G'day Graeme,

I think that may be a Pratt and Whitney JT4A diffuser/silencer for the early Boeing 707-200 and 320 series ?? Later superceded by the simpler sheet metal "Daisy Petal" type!

Not much time to spare today, so OH if correct please as I'm off to dog duties now and not sure when I will be back.

spook 28th Sep 2011 18:23

That's outrageous!!...on both counts. 1, what were they thinking! 2, Sinco, how on earth did you know/find this? Respect!

SincoTC 28th Sep 2011 18:57

Thanks spook, but I'm not so sure it's correct, just following up whilst getting something to eat!

I thought it was this Google Images

but there's not enough tubes!! Gotta go again, may have another look later :)

Noyade 28th Sep 2011 21:15


but I'm not so sure it's correct
It is! :ok: Boeing 707 is all I wanted....

Looks pretty asymmetric, Mate. Or axisymmetric, rather.

Like GE YF120 nozzle.

Lightning Mate 29th Sep 2011 12:48

Yes - an alternative proposal for the JSF35.

All yours Reg. :ok:

RegDep 29th Sep 2011 12:51

Thanks Mate!

Do I see variable thrust delector plates or IR concealment ramps?

RegDep 29th Sep 2011 15:10

You see the former. Whether or not they work as the latter, too, I am not sure.

http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/...p/nozzle-2.jpg

I believe they have IR concealment function, too.

skytrain10 29th Sep 2011 16:05

Hi Reg...is it the F-22 Raptor?

Ridge Runner 29th Sep 2011 16:23

Like this , Ken???

I don't think so ....... Edit: :O I think it might be! RR

RegDep 29th Sep 2011 16:36

Atrnoon Gentlemen, sorry for delay, did my grocery round.

Yes, it is the F-22 Raptor as suggested by Skytrain.

Over to you :ok:

Hawker prototype P.1040 with Armstrong Siddeley Snarler rocket motor in the tail

evansb 30th Sep 2011 00:16

Well yes, it is a Hawker with the Snarler rocket motor. I'm waiting for the specific aircraft model number..

Noyade 30th Sep 2011 05:02

Then maybe the P.1072...?

Hawker P.1072 -

RegDep 30th Sep 2011 07:09

D - - - - d, of course it is.


But that was not the end for the first prototype P.1040 (VP401), as in September 1949 it was refitted to house a Armstrong Siddeley Snarler rocket motor in the tail powered by a mix of liquid oxygen and water-methanol making a thrust of 2,000 lb

The first flight being on the 20/11/1950 using the "Snarler" rocket motor, the aircraft made only six flights under the power of the rocket engine, on the last flight there was a small explosion, which caused some minor damage, this was repaired, but VP401 never took to the air again.
But then I missed the picture caption….. :suspect:

evansb 30th Sep 2011 11:40

Good try gents. It is the Hawker P.1072. Noyade has control.
