After the war Franz moved to the United States as part of [[Operation Paperclip]],<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=OoFcHOLpCskC&dq=Anselm+Franz+%2C+operation+paperclip&pg=RA1-PA338 "Aeronautical research in Germany: from Lilienthal until today, Volume 147"], Ernst-Heinrich Hirschel, Horst Prem, Gero Madelung.

In 1951 he was hired to set up a new turbine division at [[Lycoming Engines|Lycoming]]'s otherwise unused plant in [[Stratford, Connecticut]].<ref name=JR>[https://books.google.com/books?id=znlqEwF-U5kC&dq=Anselm+Franz+%2C+born%2C+1900&pg=PA171 "The jet race and the Second World War"], Sterling Michael Pavelec.

His first design, the [[Lycoming T53|T53]],<ref name=AF /> would go on to be one of the most popular [[turboshaft]] engines in history, powering the [[Bell Aircraft]] [[UH-1 Huey]] and [[AH-1 Cobra]] helicopters, and the [[OV-1 Mohawk]] [[ground attack aircraft]]. He followed this success with the larger [[Honeywell T55|T55]], later converting it into a small [[turbofan]] engine as well. In the 1960s he led development of a new design for [[tank]] use, which developed into the [[AGT-1500]],<ref name=JR /> used on the [[M1 Abrams]].
