The scarcity of fuel and rapidly increasing fuel prices means that there will be ever-increasing pressure to reduce the fuel consumption of commercial aero-engines. The present generation of large fan engines have consolidated significant improvements, in this respect, compared with the engines they replaced. We can now see ways in which the fuel consumption of this class of engines can be greatly reduced (by about 12-15 %) by adopting a derivative approach and, in the longer term, by a further 10 % by more radical changes.
