The Pratt & Whitney PT1 (US military designation T32) was a free-piston gas turbine project developed in the early 1940s.[1] The project never progressed beyond ground test units, and was cancelled in 1945 in favor of developing the PT2 (T34) turboprop.[2] The development of the PT1 gave Pratt & Whitney engineers valuable experience in designing gas turbines that it would later apply to projects that resulted in the Pratt & Whitney JT3 turbojet engine.[2]
