THE bypass or ducted-fan turbojet engine is a highly controversial aircraft powerplant. It is hoped that this presentation of its operating principles will lead to a more rational understanding of the pros and cons of the issue. Discussion is explicitly limited to transport aircraft applications at speeds in the neighborhood of 500 mph.Noise, duct losses, boundary-layer intake, and structural considerations are all shown to be important.It appears that a comprehensive design development of bypass or ducted-fan engines in connection with aircraft aerodynamics and structure poses a serious problem in the field of high-subsonic-speed transport aircraft.THE bypass or ducted-fan turbojet engine is a highly controversial aircraft powerplant.
