The 25 pages that link to Turbofan, each with the reason it gives.

• ThrustBroader topic: Its large bypass airflow provides efficient thrust for most modern airliners.

• AfterburnerCompared with: High-bypass turbofans gain thrust efficiently from bypass flow rather than routine afterburning.

• Jet engineBroader topic: Its bypass airflow makes it the dominant architecture for modern airliners.

• TurbojetCompared with: Its bypass stream usually improves propulsive efficiency at subsonic speeds.

• Aircraft engineBroader topic: Its fan moves a large mass of air efficiently, making it the standard for airliners.

• Jet AgeBroader topic: High-bypass turbofans made later airliners quieter and more fuel-efficient.

• Jet propulsionBroader topic: Most modern airliners use this efficient form of jet propulsion.

• TurbopropCompared with: Like a turboprop, a turbofan uses a turbine to drive an air-moving device, but the fan is ducted.

• Cruise missileRelated: Many long-range cruise missiles use compact turbofans to sustain subsonic flight.

• Aircraft noiseRelated: High-bypass turbofans generally produce less noise than older turbojet designs.

• RamjetCompared with: It uses rotating machinery and bypass flow, unlike the ramjet’s simple ducted flow path.

• RocketCompared with: It is efficient for atmospheric flight but cannot provide thrust without air.

• Airbus A350Narrower topic: The A350’s engines are high-bypass turbofans, suited to efficient cruise.

• Jet aircraftBroader topic: Its bypass airflow makes it the standard engine type for modern airliners.

• Airbus A380Narrower topic: Four large turbofans power the A380 and shape its fuel and maintenance needs.

• Wide-body aircraftRelated: Most modern wide-bodies use turbofans sized for efficient long-distance flight.

• Panavia TornadoNarrower topic: Two turbofan engines power every Tornado variant.

• TurboshaftCompared with: A turbofan’s primary output is propulsive thrust, unlike a turboshaft’s shaft power.

• Tupolev Tu-154Narrower topic: The Tu-154’s successive variants used turbofan engines with differing thrust and fuel efficiency.

• Antonov An-225 MriyaNarrower topic: Six turbofan engines supplied the thrust needed to lift the An-225’s immense loads.

• FADECBroader topic: Many FADEC systems control the fuel, thrust, and limits of turbofan engines.

• Gas-turbine engineBroader topic: It is a common gas-turbine configuration that produces thrust efficiently at subsonic speeds.

• History of the jet engineBroader topic: Its bypass airflow improved fuel economy and noise performance over the turbojet for many aircraft.

• Ilyushin Il-76Narrower topic: Four turbofan engines give the Il-76 the thrust needed for heavy transport and runway operations.

• Thrust reversalNarrower topic: Most modern airliner reversers act on a turbofan’s bypass airflow.
