;J52-P-409
:(PW1212) {{convert|12000|lbf|kN|abbr=on}} thrust version of the J52-P-408 with an improved low pressure turbine (LPT) and faster acceleration. Designed for the EA-6B and was additionally marketed as an upgrade for the A-4. The J52-P-409 was also proposed as a cost-effective upgrade to the A-6E as an alternative to the [[A-6 Intruder#A-6F and A-6G|A-6F Intruder II]],<ref>Greeley, B.M. Jr., "Congressional Clash Threatens A-6F, A-6E Compromise Effort" (1988). ''Aviation Week & Space Technology'', Jan. 11, 1988. p.18.</ref> but was not purchased. The P-409 engine was also proposed for use in the [[EA-6B Prowler#Advanced Capability EA-6B|EA-6B ADVCAP]],<ref>Polmar, N. "EA-6B Prowler" (2001). ''The Naval Institute Guide to Ships and Aircraft of the U.S. Fleet'', 17th Ed. 2001. p416-417.</ref> but that program was canceled after three prototypes were built and flown. The P-409 would have been available as a new engine or as an upgrade kit for P-408 engines, but was never ordered in significant quantities.<ref>"P&W provides more EA-6 power" (1987).
