General Electric VR-22
Brand: General Electric
The General Electric VR-22 was a long-range bomber aircraft designed and manufactured by General Electric (GE) in the United States during the 1950s. Its official designation was XF-84F-1. The VR-22 was the result of a USAF program to develop a bomber version of the GE-built F-84 fighter.The VR-22 had a wingspan of 47 feet and a length of 62 feet. It was powered by two GE J47-GE-25 turbojet engines, each with a thrust of 4,600 pounds. The aircraft had a maximum speed of 600 mph at 30,000 feet and a range of 4,500 miles. It could carry a bomb load of up to 10,000 pounds.The VR-22 featured a crew of three (pilot, copilot, navigator/bombardier) and was equipped with advanced avionics, including an early version of the General Electric TX-9 bombing radar. Although not officially accepted by the USAF, the VR-22 served as a prototype for other GE-built bombers, including the Martin B-57 Canberra and the Convair B-36 Peacemaker.The seven VR-22 aircraft built by GE were retired from service in the late 1950s and were subsequently scrapped. However, the design contributed to the development of many successful bombers in the decades that followed.
