[Let’s Print] has been fascinated with creating a 3D printed axial compressor that can do meaningful work, and his latest iteration mixes FDM and SLA printed parts to successfully inflate (an… ...

Developed from the J35, the J47 had a 12-stage axial-flow compressor-one of its innovations that distinguished it from the centrifugal compressors used in British contemporaries.

To provide higher pressure ratios, and overall better performance, GE chose an axial-flow compressor design. First tested in 1947, the J47 passed its 150-hour test in 1948, and went into production ...
