Hmm... I don't think I've ever seen it called anything but a low bypass turbofan...DCitrus9 said:jt8d is considered a jurboJET. The fan does not produce any appreciable thrust (5%?) compared to a turbofan. With the BR715 EPR is the primary control for the fadec, N1 is the reversion when sans computer.
That's fine for a JT9D but we're talking about JT8D'sfurloughfodder said:How 'bout the JT9D Pratt & Whitney dual-spool \ axial flow \ high bypass Turbofan?
Fan produces 75% of the 52,000 lbs of thrust with a 5 to 1 bypass ratio.
...at least that's what somebody told me
By who? You?DCitrus9 said:jt8d is considered a jurboJET.
The JT8D is a turbofan. The 1.7-to-1 ratio Torqued mentioned is about right.DCitrus9 said:The fan does not produce any appreciable thrust (5%?) compared to a turbofan.
