As the name implies, the Thunderscreech had some serious noise issues. The aircraft's supersonic propeller tips made it extremely loud. In fact the noise was so loud that it damaged neighboring structures and gave ground crew members headaches and nausea.

The turbojet-powered XF-84H was a variant of Republic Aviation's F-84 Thunderstreak. An Allison XT40-A-1 turboprop engine, rated at 5,850 hp, served as the power source for this novel aircraft. The XT40 drove a variable-pitch, 3-blade, 12-foot diameter propeller at 3,000 rpm. The propulsion system's thrust level was changed by varying blade.

Thunderscreech Republic's XF84H Was a Uniquely Loud Antique

Although the XF-84H was one of the fastest single-engine, propeller-driven aircraft ever built, it never approached supersonic speed. Due to poor performance and high maintenance requirements, the XF-84H never became operational. The XF-84H remains the loudest aircraft ever built. H/T Earl Belz. Photo credit: U.S. Air Force

The XF-84H was created as an attempt to combine the best of both worlds; high speed, and fast acceleration. The engine chosen was the Allison T40 turboprop engine, which was comprised of two T38 turboprop engines mounted side-by-side. The two engines met at a common gearbox that rotated the propeller.

Two XF-84H prototype aircraft were built by Republic Aviation. The use of a T-tail was required to keep the horizontal tail and elevator in clean air flow. In flight, they were destabilised by the powerful torque from the propeller, hindered by problems with the supersonic propeller blades, and plagued by engine-related glitches.
