Unusual F-84 --- one of two made with turboprops.....


XF-84H
Two F-84Fs were converted into experimental aircraft. Each was fitted
with a Allison XT40-A-1 turboprop engine of 5,850 shaft horsepower
(4,365 kW) driving a supersonic propeller. Ground crews dubbed the
XF-84H, the Thunderscreech due to its extreme noise level.[1]




Thunderscreech!!

Made a sound that nausiated the pilots and crews.
Great phenomenon!
