How are the 47s coming along?

[Scott - A2A]

The fan is the part of the turbo charger that pushes the air.

Thanks for the quick reply Scott
Just for clarification, is the turbo fan the same thing as a turbocharger?

It's more properly called a turbine wheel. The P-47 has both a gear-driven supercharger and an exhaust-gas-driven turbocharger. The turbocharger was not needed below 12,000 feet.
