Ultra-High Bypass & Open-Rotor Engines

Next-gen propulsion architectures targeting step-change efficiency.

BACK TO ALTITUDE VIEW INTERACTIVE VERSION

Geared turbofans, ultra-high bypass ratios, and open-rotor/propfan concepts can cut fuel burn and CO₂ per seat-km. The hard parts are noise, blade containment, integration with airframes, and demonstrating safety margins across a wide operating envelope.
