The word "turbofan" is a combination of references to the preceding generation engine technology of the <a href="/wiki/Turbojet" title="Turbojet">turbojet</a> and the additional fan stage. It consists of a <a href="/wiki/Gas_turbine_engine" class="mw-redirect" title="Gas turbine engine">gas turbine engine</a> which achieves <a href="/wiki/Mechanical_energy" title="Mechanical energy">mechanical energy</a> from combustion,<sup id="cite_ref-stuffworks_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-stuffworks-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and a <a href="/wiki/Ducted_fan" title="Ducted fan">ducted fan</a> that uses the mechanical energy from the gas turbine to force air rearwards. Thus, whereas all the air taken in by a <a href="/wiki/Turbojet" title="Turbojet">turbojet</a> passes through the <a href="/wiki/Combustion_chamber" title="Combustion chamber">combustion chamber</a> and turbines, in a turbofan some of that air bypasses these components.

Engines that use more <a href="/wiki/Propelling_nozzle" title="Propelling nozzle">jet thrust</a> relative to fan thrust are known as <i>low-bypass turbofans</i>; conversely those that have considerably more fan thrust than jet thrust are known as <i>high-bypass</i>.

It achieves this by pushing more air, thus increasing the mass and lowering the speed of the propelling jet compared to that of the turbojet. This is done mechanically by adding a <a href="/wiki/Ducted_fan" title="Ducted fan">ducted fan</a> rather than using viscous forces.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A <a href="/wiki/Vacuum_ejector" title="Vacuum ejector">vacuum ejector</a> is used in conjunction with the fan as first envisaged by inventor <a href="/wiki/Frank_Whittle" title="Frank Whittle">Frank Whittle</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Whittle envisioned flight speeds of 500 mph in his March 1936 UK patent 471,368 "Improvements relating to the propulsion of aircraft", in which he describes the principles behind the turbofan,<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> although not called as such at that time. While the turbojet uses the gas from its thermodynamic cycle as its propelling jet, for aircraft speeds below 500 mph there are two penalties to this design which are addressed by the turbofan. </p><p>First, the energy required for a given thrust increases as you propel the exhaust air at ever greater speeds, so the efficiency can be improved by diverting energy to propel larger quantities of air at lower speeds than the core. A turbofan achieves this by using an additional turbine to drive a ducted fan to blow air that bypasses the high speed core. With a lower core thrust, most of the thrust now comes from the large mass of low speed bypass air, providing the same thrust with a reduced fuel burn. </p><p>The other penalty is that combustion is less efficient at lower speeds. Any action to reduce the fuel consumption of the engine by increasing its pressure ratio or turbine temperature to achieve better combustion causes a corresponding increase in pressure and temperature in the exhaust duct which in turn cause a higher gas speed from the propelling nozzle (and higher KE and wasted fuel). Although the engine would use less fuel to produce a pound of thrust, more fuel is wasted in the faster propelling jet. In other words, the independence of thermal and propulsive efficiencies, as exists with the piston engine/propeller combination which preceded the turbojet, is lost.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In contrast, Roth<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> considers regaining this independence the single most important feature of the turbofan which allows specific thrust to be chosen independently of the gas generator cycle. </p><p>The working substance of the thermodynamic cycle is the only mass accelerated to produce thrust in a turbojet which is a serious limitation (high fuel consumption) for aircraft speeds below supersonic. For subsonic flight speeds the speed of the propelling jet has to be reduced because there is a price to be paid in producing the thrust. The energy required to accelerate the gas inside the engine (increase in kinetic energy) is expended in two ways, by producing a change in momentum ( i.e. a force), and a wake which is an unavoidable consequence of producing thrust by an airbreathing engine<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> (or propeller). The wake velocity, and fuel burned to produce it, can be reduced and the required thrust still maintained by increasing the mass accelerated. A turbofan does this by transferring energy available inside the engine, from the gas generator, to a <a href="/wiki/Ducted_fan" title="Ducted fan">ducted fan</a> which produces a second, additional mass of accelerated air. </p><p>The transfer of energy from the core to bypass air results in lower pressure and temperature gas entering the core nozzle (lower exhaust velocity), and fan-produced higher pressure and temperature bypass-air entering the fan nozzle. The amount of energy transferred depends on how much pressure rise the fan is designed to produce (fan pressure ratio). The best energy exchange (lowest fuel consumption) between the two flows, and how the jet velocities compare, depends on how efficiently the transfer takes place which depends on the losses in the fan-turbine and fan.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The fan flow has lower exhaust velocity, giving much more thrust per unit energy (lower <a href="/wiki/Specific_thrust" title="Specific thrust">specific thrust</a>). Both airstreams contribute to the gross thrust of the engine. The additional air for the bypass stream increases the ram drag in the air intake stream-tube, but there is still a significant increase in net thrust. The overall effective exhaust velocity of the two exhaust jets can be made closer to a normal subsonic aircraft's flight speed and gets closer to the ideal <a href="/wiki/Aquatic_locomotion#Efficiency" title="Aquatic locomotion">Froude efficiency</a>. A turbofan accelerates a larger mass of air more slowly, compared to a turbojet which accelerates a smaller amount more quickly, which is a less efficient way to generate the same thrust (see the <a href="#Efficiency">efficiency</a> section below). </p><p>The ratio of the mass-flow of air bypassing the engine core compared to the mass-flow of air passing through the core is referred to as the <a href="/wiki/Bypass_ratio" title="Bypass ratio">bypass ratio</a>.

In addition BPR is quoted for turboprop and unducted fan installations because their high propulsive efficiency gives them the overall efficiency characteristics of very high bypass turbofans.

For speeds in between, the gas power is shared between a separate airstream and the gas turbine's own nozzle flow in a proportion which gives the aircraft performance required.

The fan (and booster stages) are driven by the low-pressure turbine, whereas the high-pressure compressor is powered by the high-pressure turbine.</figcaption></figure> <p>A high-specific-thrust/low-bypass-ratio turbofan normally has a multi-stage fan behind inlet guide vanes, developing a relatively high pressure ratio and, thus, yielding a high (mixed or cold) exhaust velocity. The core airflow needs to be large enough to ensure there is sufficient <a href="/w/index.php?title=Core_power&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Core power (page does not exist)">core power</a> to drive the fan. A smaller core flow/higher bypass ratio cycle can be achieved by raising the inlet temperature of the high-pressure (HP) turbine rotor. </p><p>To illustrate one aspect of how a turbofan differs from a turbojet, comparisons can be made at the same airflow (to keep a common intake for example) and the same net thrust (i.e. same specific thrust). A bypass flow can be added only if the turbine inlet temperature is not too high to compensate for the smaller core flow. Future improvements in turbine cooling/material technology can allow higher turbine inlet temperature, which is necessary because of increased cooling air temperature, resulting from an <a href="/wiki/Overall_pressure_ratio" title="Overall pressure ratio">overall pressure ratio</a> increase. </p><p>The resulting turbofan, with reasonable efficiencies and duct loss for the added components, would probably operate at a higher nozzle pressure ratio than the turbojet, but with a lower exhaust temperature to retain net thrust. Since the temperature rise across the whole engine (intake to nozzle) would be lower, the (dry power) fuel flow would also be reduced, resulting in a better <a href="/wiki/Thrust_specific_fuel_consumption" class="mw-redirect" title="Thrust specific fuel consumption">specific fuel consumption</a> (SFC). </p><p>Some low-bypass ratio military turbofans (e.g. <a href="/wiki/General_Electric_F404" title="General Electric F404">F404</a>, <a href="/wiki/Pratt_%26_Whitney_JT8D" title="Pratt & Whitney JT8D">JT8D</a>) have variable inlet guide vanes to direct air onto the first fan rotor stage.

href="/wiki/Pratt_%26_Whitney_F119" title="Pratt & Whitney F119">Pratt & Whitney F119</a> afterburning turbofan on test</figcaption></figure> <p>Since the 1970s, most <a href="/wiki/Jet_fighter" class="mw-redirect" title="Jet fighter">jet fighter</a> engines have been low/medium bypass turbofans with a mixed exhaust, <a href="/wiki/Afterburner" title="Afterburner">afterburner</a> and variable area exit nozzle. An afterburner is a combustor located downstream of the turbine blades and directly upstream of the nozzle, which burns fuel from afterburner-specific fuel injectors. When lit, large volumes of fuel are burnt in the afterburner, raising the temperature of exhaust gases by a significant degree, resulting in a higher exhaust velocity/engine specific thrust. The variable geometry nozzle must open to a larger throat area to accommodate the extra volume and increased flow rate when the afterburner is lit. Afterburning is often designed to give a significant thrust boost for take off, transonic acceleration and combat maneuvers, but is very fuel intensive. Consequently, afterburning can be used only for short portions of a mission. </p><p>Unlike in the main engine, where <a href="/wiki/Stoichiometric" class="mw-redirect" title="Stoichiometric">stoichiometric</a> temperatures in the combustor have to be reduced before they reach the turbine, an afterburner at maximum fuelling is designed to produce stoichiometric temperatures at entry to the nozzle, about 2,100 K (3,800 °R; 3,300 °F; 1,800 °C). At a fixed total applied fuel:air ratio, the total fuel flow for a given fan airflow will be the same, regardless of the dry specific thrust of the engine. However, a high specific thrust turbofan will, by definition, have a higher nozzle pressure ratio, resulting in a higher afterburning net thrust and, therefore, a lower afterburning specific fuel consumption (SFC). However, high specific thrust engines have a high dry SFC. The situation is reversed for a medium specific thrust afterburning turbofan: i.e., poor afterburning SFC/good dry SFC. The former engine is suitable for a combat aircraft which must remain in afterburning combat for a fairly long period, but has to fight only fairly close to the airfield (e.g. cross border skirmishes).

The low-pressure spool is coloured green and the high-pressure one purple. Again, the fan (and booster stages) are driven by the low-pressure turbine, but more stages are required. A mixed exhaust is often employed.</figcaption></figure> <p>To further improve fuel economy and reduce noise, almost all jet airliners and most military transport aircraft (e.g., the <a href="/wiki/C-17_Globemaster_III" class="mw-redirect" title="C-17 Globemaster III">C-17</a>) are powered by low-specific-thrust/high-bypass-ratio turbofans. These engines evolved from the high-specific-thrust/low-bypass-ratio turbofans used in such aircraft in the 1960s. Modern combat aircraft tend to use low-bypass ratio turbofans, and some military transport aircraft use <a href="/wiki/Turboprop" title="Turboprop">turboprops</a>. </p><p>Low specific thrust is achieved by replacing the multi-stage fan with a single-stage unit. Unlike some military engines, modern civil turbofans lack stationary inlet guide vanes in front of the fan rotor. The fan is scaled to achieve the desired net thrust. </p><p>The core (or gas generator) of the engine must generate enough power to drive the fan at its rated mass flow and pressure ratio. Improvements in turbine cooling/material technology allow for a higher (HP) turbine rotor inlet temperature, which allows a smaller (and lighter) core, potentially improving the core thermal efficiency. Reducing the core mass flow tends to increase the load on the LP turbine, so this unit may require additional stages to reduce the average <a href="/wiki/Stage_loading" title="Stage loading">stage loading</a> and to maintain LP turbine efficiency. Reducing core flow also increases bypass ratio. Bypass ratios greater than 5:1 are increasingly common; the <a href="/wiki/Pratt_%26_Whitney_PW1000G" title="Pratt & Whitney PW1000G">Pratt & Whitney PW1000G</a>, which entered commercial service in 2016, attains 12.5:1. </p><p>Further improvements in core thermal efficiency can be achieved by raising the <a href="/wiki/Overall_pressure_ratio" title="Overall pressure ratio">overall pressure ratio</a> of the core. Improvements in blade aerodynamics can reduce the number of extra compressor stages required, and <a href="/wiki/Axial_compressor#Bleed_air,_variable_stators" title="Axial compressor">variable geometry stators</a> enable high-pressure-ratio compressors to work surge-free at all throttle settings. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:CF6-6_engine_cutaway.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f0/CF6-6_engine_cutaway.jpg/220px-CF6-6_engine_cutaway.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="163" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f0/CF6-6_engine_cutaway.jpg/330px-CF6-6_engine_cutaway.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f0/CF6-6_engine_cutaway.jpg/440px-CF6-6_engine_cutaway.jpg 2x" data-file-width="700" data-file-height="518" /></a><figcaption>Cutaway diagram of the <a href="/wiki/General_Electric_CF6" title="General Electric CF6">General Electric CF6</a>-6 engine</figcaption></figure> <p>The first (experimental) high-bypass turbofan engine was the <a href="/wiki/Lycoming_Engines" title="Lycoming Engines">AVCO-Lycoming</a> PLF1A-2, a <a href="/wiki/Honeywell_T55" title="Honeywell T55">Honeywell T55</a> turboshaft-derived engine that was first run in February 1962.

The Pratt & Whitney JT9D engine was the first high bypass ratio <a href="/wiki/Jet_engine" title="Jet engine">jet engine</a> to power a wide-body airliner.<sup id="cite_ref-46" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-46"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>46<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The lower the specific thrust of a turbofan, the lower the mean jet outlet velocity, which in turn translates into a high <a href="/wiki/Thrust_lapse" class="mw-redirect" title="Thrust lapse">thrust lapse rate</a> (i.e. decreasing thrust with increasing flight speed). See technical discussion below, item 2. Consequently, an engine sized to propel an aircraft at high subsonic flight speed (e.g., Mach 0.83) generates a relatively high thrust at low flight speed, thus enhancing runway performance. Low specific thrust engines tend to have a high bypass ratio, but this is also a function of the temperature of the turbine system. </p><p>The turbofans on twin-engined transport aircraft produce enough take-off thrust to continue a take-off on one engine if the other engine shuts down after a critical point in the take-off run. From that point on the aircraft has less than half the thrust compared to two operating engines because the non-functioning engine is a source of drag. Modern twin engined airliners normally climb very steeply immediately after take-off. If one engine shuts down, the climb-out is much shallower, but sufficient to clear obstacles in the flightpath. </p><p>The Soviet Union's engine technology was less advanced than the West's, and its first wide-body aircraft, the <a href="/wiki/Ilyushin_Il-86" title="Ilyushin Il-86">Ilyushin Il-86</a>, was powered by low-bypass engines. The <a href="/wiki/Yakovlev_Yak-42" title="Yakovlev Yak-42">Yakovlev Yak-42</a>, a medium-range, rear-engined aircraft seating up to 120 passengers, introduced in 1980, was the first Soviet aircraft

For a given engine cycle (i.e., same airflow, bypass ratio, fan pressure ratio, overall pressure ratio and HP turbine rotor inlet temperature), the choice of turbofan configuration has little impact upon the design point performance (e.g., net thrust, SFC), as long as overall component performance is maintained. Off-design performance and stability is, however, affected by engine configuration. </p><p>The basic element of a turbofan is a <b>spool</b>, a single combination of fan/compressor, turbine and shaft rotating at a single speed.

As the HP compressor has a modest pressure ratio its speed can be reduced surge-free, without employing variable geometry. However, because a shallow IP compressor working line is inevitable, the IPC has one stage of variable geometry on all variants except the −535, which has none.<sup id="cite_ref-47" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-47"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>47<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Single-shaft_turbofan">Single-shaft turbofan</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Turbofan&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Single-shaft turbofan"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Although far from common, the single-shaft turbofan is probably the simplest configuration, comprising a fan and high-pressure compressor driven by a single turbine unit, all on the same spool.

Increasing the <a href="/wiki/Overall_pressure_ratio" title="Overall pressure ratio">overall pressure ratio</a> of the compression system raises the combustor entry temperature. Therefore, at a fixed fuel flow there is an increase in (HP) turbine rotor inlet temperature. Although the higher temperature rise across the compression system implies a larger temperature drop over the turbine system, the mixed nozzle temperature is unaffected, because the same amount of heat is being added to the system. There is, however, a rise in nozzle pressure, because overall pressure ratio increases faster than the turbine expansion ratio, causing an increase in the hot mixer entry pressure. Consequently, net thrust increases, whilst specific fuel consumption (fuel flow/net thrust) decreases. A similar trend occurs with unmixed turbofans. </p><p>Turbofan engines can be made more fuel efficient by raising overall pressure ratio and turbine rotor inlet temperature in unison. However, better turbine materials or improved vane/blade cooling are required to cope with increases in both turbine rotor inlet temperature and compressor delivery temperature. Increasing the latter may require better compressor materials. </p><p>The overall pressure ratio can be increased by improving fan (or) LP compressor pressure ratio or HP compressor pressure ratio. If the latter is held constant, the increase in (HP) compressor delivery temperature (from raising overall pressure ratio) implies an increase in HP mechanical speed. However, stressing considerations might limit this parameter, implying, despite an increase in overall pressure ratio, a reduction in HP compressor pressure ratio. </p><p>According to simple theory, if the ratio of turbine rotor inlet temperature/(HP) compressor delivery temperature is maintained, the HP turbine throat area can be retained. However, this assumes that cycle improvements are obtained, while retaining the datum (HP) compressor exit flow function (non-dimensional flow). In practice, changes to the non-dimensional speed of the (HP) compressor and cooling bleed extraction would probably make this assumption invalid, making some adjustment to HP turbine throat area unavoidable. This means the HP turbine nozzle guide vanes would have to be different from the original.

Imagine a fan (driven by an appropriately sized electric motor) operating within a pipe, which is connected to a propelling nozzle. It is fairly obvious, the higher the fan pressure ratio (fan discharge pressure/fan inlet pressure), the higher the jet velocity and the corresponding specific thrust. Now imagine we replace this set-up with an equivalent turbofan – same airflow and same fan pressure ratio. Obviously, the core of the turbofan must produce sufficient power to drive the fan via the low-pressure (LP) turbine. If we choose a low (HP) turbine inlet temperature for the gas generator, the core airflow needs to be relatively high to compensate. The corresponding bypass ratio is therefore relatively low. If we raise the turbine inlet temperature, the core airflow can be smaller, thus increasing bypass ratio. Raising turbine inlet temperature tends to increase thermal efficiency and, therefore, improve <a href="/wiki/Fuel_efficiency" title="Fuel efficiency">fuel efficiency</a>.</li> <li>Naturally, as altitude increases, there is a decrease in air density and, therefore, the net thrust of an engine. There is also a flight speed effect, termed thrust lapse rate. Consider the approximate equation for net thrust again:<span class="mwe-math-element"><span class="mwe-math-mathml-display mwe-math-mathml-a11y" style="display: none;"><math display="block" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="{\displaystyle F_{n}=m\cdot (V_{jfe}-V_{a}).}"> <semantics> <mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mstyle displaystyle="true" scriptlevel="0"> <msub> <mi>F</mi> <mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mi>n</mi> </mrow> </msub> <mo>=</mo> <mi>m</mi> <mo>⋅</mo> <mo stretchy="false">(</mo> <msub> <mi>V</mi> <mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mi>j</mi> <mi>f</mi> <mi>e</mi> </mrow> </msub> <mo>−</mo> <msub> <mi>V</mi> <mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mi>a</mi> </mrow> </msub> <mo stretchy="false">)</mo> <mo>.</mo> </mstyle> </mrow> <annotation encoding="application/x-tex">{\displaystyle F_{n}=m\cdot (V_{jfe}-V_{a}).}</annotation> </semantics> </math></span><img src="https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/e564e85f64f82be9af15b45dc4338c601047ea0e" class="mwe-math-fallback-image-display mw-invert skin-invert" aria-hidden="true" style="vertical-align: -1.005ex; width:21.22ex; height:3.009ex;" alt="{\displaystyle F_{n}=m\cdot (V_{jfe}-V_{a}).}"></span> With a high specific thrust (e.g., fighter) engine, the jet velocity is relatively high, so intuitively one can see that increases in flight velocity have less of an impact upon net thrust than a medium specific thrust (e.g., trainer) engine, where the jet velocity is lower. The impact of thrust lapse rate upon a low specific thrust (e.g., civil) engine is even more severe. At high flight speeds, high-specific-thrust engines can pick up net thrust through the ram rise in the intake, but this effect tends to diminish at supersonic speeds because of shock wave losses.</li> <li>Thrust growth on civil turbofans is usually obtained by increasing fan airflow, thus preventing the jet noise becoming too high. However, the larger fan airflow requires more power from the core. This can be achieved by raising the <a href="/wiki/Overall_pressure_ratio" title="Overall pressure ratio">overall pressure ratio</a> (combustor inlet pressure/intake delivery pressure) to induce more airflow into the core and by increasing turbine inlet temperature. Together, these parameters tend to increase core thermal efficiency and improve fuel efficiency.</li> <li>Some high-bypass-ratio civil turbofans use an extremely low area ratio (less than 1.01), convergent-divergent, nozzle on the bypass (or mixed exhaust) stream, to control the fan working line. The nozzle acts as if it has variable geometry. At low flight speeds the nozzle is unchoked (less than a Mach number of unity), so the exhaust gas speeds up as it approaches the throat and then slows down slightly as it reaches the divergent section. Consequently, the nozzle exit area controls the fan match and, being larger than the throat, pulls the fan working line slightly away from surge. At higher flight speeds, the ram rise in the intake increases nozzle pressure ratio to the point where the throat becomes choked (M=1.0). Under these circumstances, the throat area dictates the fan match and, being smaller than the exit, pushes the fan working line slightly towards surge. This is not a problem, since fan surge margin is much better at high flight speeds.</li> <li>The off-design behaviour of turbofans is illustrated under <a href="/wiki/Compressor_map" title="Compressor map">compressor map</a> and <a href="/wiki/Turbine_map" title="Turbine map">turbine map</a>.</li> <li>Because modern civil turbofans operate at low specific thrust, they require only a single fan stage to develop the required fan pressure ratio. The desired overall pressure ratio for the engine cycle is usually achieved by multiple axial stages on the core compression. Rolls-Royce tend to split the core compression into two with an intermediate pressure (IP) supercharging the HP compressor, both units being driven by turbines with a single stage, mounted on separate shafts. Consequently, the HP compressor need develop only a modest pressure ratio (e.g., ~4.5:1). US civil engines use much higher HP compressor pressure ratios (e.g., ~23:1 on the <a href="/wiki/General_Electric_GE90" title="General Electric GE90">General Electric GE90</a>) and tend to be driven by a two-stage HP turbine. Even so, there are usually a few IP axial stages mounted on the LP shaft, behind the fan, to further supercharge the core compression system. Civil engines have multi-stage LP turbines, the number of stages being determined by the bypass ratio, the amount of IP compression on the LP shaft and the LP turbine blade speed.</li> <li>Because military engines usually have to be able to fly very fast at sea level, the limit on HP compressor delivery temperature is reached at a fairly modest design overall pressure ratio, compared with that of a civil engine. Also the fan pressure ratio is relatively high, to achieve a medium to high specific thrust. Consequently, modern military turbofans usually have only 5 or 6 HP compressor stages and require only a single-stage HP turbine. Low-bypass-ratio military turbofans usually have one LP turbine stage, but higher bypass ratio engines need two stages. In theory, by adding IP compressor stages, a modern military turbofan HP compressor could be used in a civil turbofan derivative, but the core would tend to be too small for high thrust applications.</li></ol> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Improvements">Improvements</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Turbofan&action=edit&section=26" title="Edit section: Improvements"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Aerodynamic_modelling">Aerodynamic modelling</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Turbofan&action=edit&section=27" title="Edit section: Aerodynamic modelling"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Aerodynamics" title="Aerodynamics">Aerodynamics</a> is a mix of <a href="/wiki/Speed_of_sound" title="Speed of sound">subsonic</a>, <a href="/wiki/Transonic" title="Transonic">transonic</a> and <a href="/wiki/Supersonic" class="mw-redirect" title="Supersonic">supersonic</a> airflow on a single fan/<a href="/wiki/Gas_compressor" class="mw-redirect" title="Gas compressor">gas compressor</a> blade in a modern turbofan.

1970s, Rolls-Royce/SNECMA tested a <a href="/wiki/M45SD-02" class="mw-redirect" title="M45SD-02">M45SD-02</a> turbofan fitted with variable-pitch fan blades to improve handling at ultralow fan pressure ratios and to provide thrust reverse down to zero aircraft speed. The engine was aimed at ultraquiet <a href="/wiki/STOL" title="STOL">STOL</a> aircraft operating from city-centre airports. </p><p>In a bid for increased efficiency with speed, a development of the <i>turbofan</i> and <i>turboprop</i> known as a <a href="/wiki/Propfan" title="Propfan">propfan</a> engine was created that had an unducted fan. The fan blades are situated outside of the duct, so that it appears like a turboprop with wide scimitar-like blades. Both General Electric and Pratt & Whitney/Allison demonstrated propfan engines in the 1980s. Excessive cabin noise and relatively cheap jet fuel prevented the engines being put into service. The <a href="/wiki/Progress_D-27" title="Progress D-27">Progress D-27</a> propfan, developed in the U.S.S.R., was the only propfan engine equipped on a production aircraft. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Terminology">Terminology</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Turbofan&action=edit&section=34" title="Edit section: Terminology"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <dl><dt><a href="/wiki/Afterburner" title="Afterburner">Afterburner</a></dt> <dd>jetpipe equipped for afterburning<sup id="cite_ref-auto_64-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-auto-64"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>64<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></dd> <dt>Augmentor</dt> <dd>afterburner for turbofan with burning in hot and cold flows<sup id="cite_ref-auto_64-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-auto-64"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>64<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></dd> <dt>Bypass</dt> <dd>that part of the engine as distinct from the core in terms of components and airflow, eg that part of fan blading (fan outer) and stators which pass bypass air, bypass duct, bypass nozzle</dd> <dt><a href="/wiki/Bypass_ratio" title="Bypass ratio">Bypass ratio</a></dt> <dd>bypass air mass flow /core air mass flow<sup id="cite_ref-65" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-65"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>65<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></dd> <dt>Core</dt> <dd>that part of the engine as distinct from the bypass in terms of components and airflow, eg core cowl, core nozzle, core airflow and associated machinery, combustor and fuel system</dd> <dt>Core power</dt> <dd>also known as "available energy" or "gas horsepower". It is used to measure the theoretical (isentropic expansion) shaft work available from a gas generator or core by expanding hot, high pressure gas to ambient pressure. Since the power depends on the pressure and temperature of the gas (and the ambient pressure) a related figure of merit for thrust-producing engines is one which measures the thrust-producing potential from hot, high pressure gas and known as "stream thrust". It is obtained by calculating the velocity obtained with isentropic expansion to atmospheric pressure. The significance of the thrust obtained appears when multiplied by the aircraft velocity to give the thrust work. The thrust work which is potentially available is far less than the gas horsepower due to the increasing waste in the exhaust kinetic energy with increasing pressure and temperature before expansion to atmospheric pressure.
