Q
Why is a turbo fan engine proffered over a turbo jet engine.
A
Low-bypass-ratio turbofans are more fuel efficient than the basic turbojet. A turbofan generates more thrust for nearly an equal amount of fuel used by the core because the fuel flow rate is changed by slightly when adding the fan. As a result, the turbofan offers high fuel efficiency.
