A design team must choose an engine for a 200 seat aircraft cruising at Mach 0.82 over intercontinental ranges, with strict airport noise limits to meet.

Which type should they select and why?

  • A.A ramjet
  • B.A high bypass turbofan
  • C.A turbojet
  • D.A turboprop

Answer: B

At that cruise Mach number the high bypass turbofan has by far the best propulsive efficiency and the lowest jet noise. A turbojet would burn far more fuel, a turboprop cannot reach the speed, and a ramjet produces no thrust at rest at all.
