The design of an aeroengine suitable to power the Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF), a supersonic, long range tactical fighter aircraft being developed in the U.S. is detailed. The specification for a similar long range fighter was used to provide the engine specification. Both turbojet and turbofan cycles were fully investigated at design point, and off design, before selecting the turbofan cycle for further study and optimization. Having optimized the turbofan cycle, the design of the cycle as an aft fan and the design of a conventional turbofan were investigated and the two designs were compared and contrasted. The suitability of the aft fan as a powerplant for the ATF was assessed.
