The Pratt & Whitney J57 was an axial-flow turbojet engine designed by Leonard S. Hobbs in 1952 and manufactured by Pratt & Whitney to power the B-52 Stratofortress aircraft. The J57 was the first 10,000 lbf (45 kN) thrust class engine in the United States. The J57 company designation was JT3C. This turbojet engine also powered the F-100 Super Sabre and the F-102 Delta Dagger.
