In modern high-bypass turbofan engines, the fan mounted afore the jet engine core is very large. en.wikipedia.org

For turbojets the gain is limited to 50%, while it depends on the bypass ratio in a turbofan and can be as much as 70%. en.wikipedia.org

It was a conventional design for its class, a low-wing monoplane with turbofan engines mounted in rear fuselage nacelles. en.wikipedia.org

Designing a basic turbojet engine around the second principle produces the turbofan engine, which creates slower gas but more of it. en.wikipedia.org

Postwar developments of the turbojet and turbofan engines apparently obviated the need for large aircraft engines of this type. en.wikipedia.org

A turbojet engine equipped with an afterburner is called an afterburning turbojet, whereas a turbofan engine similarly equipped is sometimes called an augmented turbofan. en.wikipedia.org

A very low specific thrust (i.e. very high bypass ratio) turbofan is proposed for the aircraft. en.wikipedia.org

In a bid for increased efficiency with speed, a development of the "turbofan" and "turboprop" known as a propfan engine was created that had an unducted fan. en.wikipedia.org

This feature, related to the high bypass ratio turbofan, reduces the noise from the engines and improves fuel efficiency. en.wikipedia.org

Because of the implied low mean jet velocity, a high bypass ratio/low specific thrust turbofan has a high thrust lapse rate (with rising flight speed). en.wikipedia.org
