Seattle Museum of Flight

Lurking beneath the gleaming engine cowling of commercial airliners lies the screaming gas turbine jet engine.  This is an industrial abstract photo of the mighty Pratt and Whitney JT9B high by-pass turbofan developed for use on the early Boeing 747 airliner.  This particular engine is attached to the first 747 to take to the air, N7470 'City of Everett' on display at the museum of flight.
