Discussion
Engine types and their characteristics.
| Type | Bypass ratio | Specific thrust | Best flight regime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turbojet | 0 | High | High subsonic to supersonic |
| Low bypass turbofan | 0.3 to 1 | High | Transonic and supersonic |
| High bypass turbofan | 5 to 12 | Low | High subsonic cruise |
| Turboprop | Very high, effectively | Very low | Low to moderate speed |
What relationship does the table show between bypass ratio and specific thrust?
Answer: A
Accelerating more air more gently gives less thrust per kilogram of air but better propulsive efficiency. That is exactly why a high bypass engine must be physically much larger to produce the same total thrust as a turbojet would.
