The Pratt & Whitney J48 is an American turbojet engine developed by Pratt & Whitney as a license-built version of the Rolls-Royce Tay, which was itself a 30 percent enlargement of the preceding Nene engine and produced up to 38.9kN of thrust with afterburning. It powered several aircraft types in the 1950s, such as the Grumman F9F Panther and Grumman F9F Cougar, the Lockheed F-94C Starfire, and the North American YF-93¹². It was also the first engine to use water injection for increased performance.
