fanjet engine

A large passenger airplane has two powerful fanjet engines under its wings.

Definition
  1. Noun:
    • A type of jet engine where a large fan at the front, powered by a turbine, compresses air. Most of this air bypasses the core engine to provide additional, more efficient thrust, while the rest enters the combustion chamber.
Usage
  • The term "fanjet engine" is a technical noun used specifically in aviation and engineering contexts to describe a common modern aircraft propulsion system. It is often used interchangeably with "turbofan engine."
Examples
  • Noun:
    • The new airliner is powered by two highly efficient fanjet engines.
    • Compared to older turbojets, a fanjet engine is significantly quieter and more fuel-efficient.
Advanced Usage
  • The bypass ratio is a key characteristic of a fanjet engine, describing the proportion of air that bypasses the engine core versus the air that goes through it. A high-bypass-ratio fanjet is standard for commercial airliners.
Variants and Related Words
  • Turbofan engine (n): The more common technical synonym for "fanjet engine."
  • Fanjet (n): A shortened, informal form of "fanjet engine."
  • Bypass engine (n): Another descriptive term highlighting the key working principle.
Synonyms
  • Turbofan engine: The most direct and commonly used synonym in technical language.
Related Phrases
  • High-bypass turbofan: A specific, modern type of fanjet engine optimized for efficiency and low noise, used on most jet airliners.
  • Jet engine: The broader category to which the fanjet engine belongs.
