- Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry displays
the Pratt & Whitney JT8D. These photos show that JT8D matches the
Pentagon engine photographed at the crash site. Note the outlined bolt
flanges for comparison purposes. The bolt flanges hold the sections of
the engine together. Both engines have portions of the outer cover
removed so the inner engine is clearly visible.

- Measurements:
- Fan tip diameter: 39.9 - 49.2 in
- Length, flange to flange: 120.0 - 154.1 in

- They are all jet engine components (past and
present) on the A-3 Skywarrior twin-turbojet airplane and on older
versions of the 737. The USAF only has a few of the A-3s left in
operation and what was formerly Hughes Aircraft, now Raytheon, has a
fleet of them at Van Nuys, Calif. This type of turbojet engine has
never been used on a Boeing 757, so the debate on "type of plane" can
end there. This is a jet engine component with fan, not an auxiliary
power unit (APU) as some have speculated or dropped into the
conversation as disinformation.
-
- What has been interesting is the level of "content
blocking" that there is on the Internet where specific information
regarding certain "jet engine components" such as those shown at the
Pentagon have definitely been blocked. Our team had to take steps to
go around the content blocks to get at the photos you are seeing
regarding these rotor hub components.
-
- That part has a specific UPN (Universal Part Number)
and it cannot be found by looking for that UPN. Other measures were
needed to find what you are seeing in these photos to circumvent what
is apparently intentional content blocking. Someone has gone to
considerable lengths to make sure that the actual components that were
found at the Pentagon could not be found and it took my team over two
years to hammer through such blocks to find three of these photos
(Praxair and Evergreen) to verify the component.
-
- Yes, Hughes aircraft had a fleet of them and was
bought out by Raytheon. Hmm, that company is doing well for two
reasons that I know of due to Bush war policy and even the move from
Mode 4 to Mode 5 technology since the PRC got its hands on our top
secret Mode 4 technology with that little Hainan Island incident and
our Navy EP-3 that was forced down in April of 2001. As of Sept. 11,
2001, most air traffic controllers and National Air Guard units were
not upgraded after the PRC got their hands on some of our most
sensitive military
technology.
