More Information
Summary:A fan structure which is particularly well suited for use in a high tip speed turbofan, gas turbine engine is disclosed. Various construction details accommodate both subsonic and supersonic flow across the fan blades. The system is built around compression shock wave phenomenon which are utilized to stably convert a portion of the dynamic energy of a supersonic stream to pressure energy within a subsonic stream.
