Turbofan and Turboprop Performance

Turbofan and turboprop engines are widely used instead of the simple turbojet engine because they provide a number of performance benefits for certain flight conditions.  When operated at certain flight speeds, turbofan and turboprop engines provide:

    -Reduced Fuel Consumption (for a given engine thrust)

    -Increased Thrust (for a given core mass flow)

    -Increased Propulson Efficiency

    -Reduced Noise
