Abstract
OPERATING to increasingly severe noise and NOx emission levels and at the lowest Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) attainable, current turbofan engines represent considerable advances in all respects on powerplants of only a few years ago. Nevertheless, the demand for even larger engines has meant that the major manufacturers are making considerable efforts to develop operating cycles and improved components to attain optimum performance for the foreseeable future.
