prototype 502-11B Air Cart and B52. The 502-11B is a Boeing designed and built gas turbine engine compressor for starting aircraft turbine engines

here is a 502-10C for example 

If you'd like to read Boeing tech rep for industrial products - William St Germain's 1959 presentation on the Boeing gas turbines, Google was nice enough to scan it https://books.google.com/books?id=4brVAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA60&lpg=PA60&dq=what+is+502-11b+air+cart&source=bl&ots=vv5513rFVY&sig=ACfU3U0rRRtMgbKpmx_oKDXxoCgMa2FbMQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiY3s-365vzAhW1VTABHU5yAEMQ6AF6BAhCEAM#v=onepage&q=what%20is%20502-11b%20air%20cart&f=false

coincidentally, these were used to vaporize fog oil, as the recent DDT post happened to show


the 502-11B production unit

not really needed here, just cool related photo because its a very early topper for a Ford truck with the Boeing logo, and inside is a gas turbine used to power up the aircraft

  1. Really dig the aviation themed posts. I believe Ford produced a panel truck in the late 50's, early 60's. They look pretty dang cool!
