Abstract
Currently the transport industry is embarked on programs for the development of a new generation of fuel-efficient aircraft. This class of airplanes incorporates the superfan and the ultra-high-bypass (UHB) propulsion systems. The superfan engine is an advanced derivative of the turbofan powerplant, while the UHB concept employs a multibladed counterrotating unshrouded fan. A schematic top view of the airplane with the alternative engines is shown in Fig. 1.
This research was conducted under the Independent Research and Development Program of the McDonnell Douglas Corporation.
