It was not the engine (P&W R-2800 Double Wasp) that led to the P-47’s considerable bulk - rather it was the plumbing that went with it. While the P-38 placed turbocharger ducting in the twin booms, the Thunderbolt placed it in the body of the fuselage, creating the shape that would forever be known as ‘the Jug’!

Speakers up for this one. 🔊 Nothing beats the sound of a Pratt & Whitney R-2800 tearing up the sky. Captured this P-47 Thunderbolt "Jug" doing what it does best—making a lot of noise and moving a lot of air. A proper heavy hitter of WWII aviation. #P47Thunderbolt #Warbirds #RadialEngine #AviationHistory #WW2Aviation #PrattAndWhitney #TheJug #Airshow #AvGeek #ClassicAviation #FlyingLegends #HeavyMetal | Wings TV Channel
