Thus, the need for stands and ladders for most routine maintenance, including fueling, was eliminated. The Buckeye was well designed for field maintenance conditions, with serviceable components installed at waist level or lower. The T-2 Buckeye is a two place subsonic trainer, powered by two axial flow turbojets (In the case of the T-2J 1 S also designated as the T-2A the aircraft is powered by a single turbojet. We at RAZBAM have worked to deliver to you the most accurate model of this fascinating aircraft and we promise you that you will enjoy flying it.

company to produce a practical afterburner. The afterburner was developed by Solar Aircraft, the first U.S. ĭeveloped during the transition from piston-engined aircraft to jets, the J34 was sometimes fitted to aircraft as a supplement to other powerplants, as with the Lockheed P-2 Neptune and Douglas Skyrocket (fitted with radial piston engines and a rocket engine, respectively).
However, equipped with the J34 instead of its intended engines, it was seriously underpowered and could not exceed Mach 1 in level flight. The Stiletto was developed to investigate the design of an aircraft at sustained supersonic speeds. For instance, the Douglas X-3 "Stiletto" was equipped with two J34 engines when the intended Westinghouse J46 engine proved to be unsuitable.
Built in an era of rapidly advancing gas turbine engine technology, the J34 was largely obsolete before it saw service, and often served as an interim engine.
