TJ-150

Turbojet Engine

High Performance Propulsion for Tactical Missiles and UAVs

Pratt & Whitneys TJ-150 is a high performance turbojet
engine designed for expendable and limited life operation
in missiles and unmanned aerial vehicle applications. The
engine combines the simplicity of a single-spool architecture
with high performance turbomachinery components to achieve
unmatched performance in an extremely compact installation. The
engines state-of-the-art thrust/frontal area characteristic allows the
TJ-150 to install in minimal cross-section vehicles where other
engines simply do not fit.
The heart of the TJ-150s outstanding performance lies in its singlestage, mixed flow compressor, which achieves an extraordinary
pressure ratio in only one stage of compression. The combustor
utilizes a simple spray ring with a unique fuel injection system to
provide extremely reliable starting characteristics and excellent
blowout margins. The conventional radial turbine configuration
provides outstanding efficiency in a single stage. The TJ-150 has
demonstrated pyrotechnic starts to 35,000 feet and windmill starts
at lower altitudes.

Over 1,400 TJ-150-1 engines have been delivered to Raytheon Missile

Systems for their MALD family of decoys and jammer vehicles. Other
MALD applications are under study, such as a delivery vehicle for
generic payloads. All variants will benefit from the use of a common
engine, the TJ-150-1. Another engine model, the TJ-150-3, is currently
in development to power the MBDA Missile Systems SPEAR
(Selectable Precision Effects at Range) medium range, precision strike
tactical missile under the sponsorship of the UK Ministry of Defence.
