conventional turbofans the fan tips exceed the speed of sound causing a characteristic drone, requiring sound deadening. Geared turbofans operate the fan

WS-13) manufacture turbofans. Kumsong-3 is North Korean domestic variant/clone of Kh-35 that was utilized R95TP-300/MS-400 turbofan engine while improved

bypassing the core gas turbine engine. Turbofans are the dominant engine type for medium and long-range airliners. Turbofans are usually more efficient than

The MS400 (Ukrainian: MC-400) is a turbofan engine developed by the Ukrainian aircraft engine manufacturer Motor Sich. The engine is used for subsonic

of turbofans and turboprops. It uses advanced, curved propeller blades without a duct. Propfans aim to combine the speed capability of turbofans with
