T-33 Shooting Star model airplane |
| The
design of what was to become the first operational jet fighter of the US
Army Air Corps began in June 1934, tailored around the 3,000-lb thrust
British Halford H.1B turbojet. The first Lockheed XP-80 prototype with
this powerplant was flown initially on January 8, 1944. The P-80 Shooting
Star began to enter service in early 1945, and a total of 45 aircraft had
been delivered by the time World War II ended. When production ended, Lockheed
had built a total of 1,732 P-80 (later F-80) airplanes; but far more successful
was the T-33A two seat trainer airplane. Basically an F-80 with a lengthened
fuselage to accommodate a second seat in tandem, the T-33A has served with
more than 30 air forces. Over 6,000 aircraft were built, and a considerable
number of these airplanes remain in service. The final production version,
the F-80C, used one 5,400-lb thrust Allison J33-A-35 turbojet, with a maximum
speed at sea level of 594 mph, service ceiling of 46,800 feet, and range
of 825 miles. |
