 TF30: Pratt and Whitney Mixed Flow Turbofan Engine

The TF30P414 engine is a mixedflow, dual spool afterburning lowbypass

turbofan designed and manufactured by Pratt and Whitney Aircraft of West
Palm Beach, Florida.
The engine incorporates a ninestage low pressure compressor including a
threestage fan driven by a threestage low pressure turbine; and a 7stage axial
flow highpressure compressor driven by a singlestage highpressure turbine.
 SPECIFICATIONS:TF30
Development of TF30P414 was initiated in March 1969.
TF30P414A was placed in service in October 1982.
929 TF30P414s were converted to P414As withconversion kits;
conversion completed November 1987.
269 P414As were purchased.

Max rated airflow: 242.0 lbs/s
F110-GE-400 Mixed Flow Turbofan Engine
 Details of F110-GE 400
The F110GE400 engine is a mixedflow, dual spool afterburning
lowbypass turbofan designed and manufactured by General Electric
Aircraft Engines in Lynn, Massachusetts.
The engine is of modular construction, consisting of six engine modules,
and an accessories gearbox.
The engine incorporates a 3stage fan driven by a twostage low
pressure turbine; and a 9stage axial flow highpressure compressor
driven by a singlestage highpressure turbine.
To moderate engine performance at various power levels the engine
features a variable geometry system.
The combustor is a through flow annular type.
The hinged flap camlinked exhaust nozzle is hydraulically actuated.
The enginemounted accessory gearbox provides the necessary
extracted power needed to drive the accessories.
The engine control system regulates speeds, temperature levels and fuel
flow for afterburning and nonafterburning operation.
The lubrication and ignition system are selfcontained on the engine.
Development was initiated April 1984 and engine was placed in service
in late 1986

Economy Flying
 Requirements of Economic Flying

In recent years, interest in highly efficient flight

transportation is renewed.
This has spurred investigation into very high bypass ratio
fans.
Some economic optimization of turbofan cycle shows a
bypass ratio of 100.
The weight of cowl and drag due to the cowl will have
high penalty on total cost if bypass ratio is greater than 25.
This led to thinking of high bypass ratio open turbofan
engines.
