The 22-blade fan of an A320's V2500-A1 Rolls-Royce based the 10-stage HP compressor on an 8-stage run in the RB401 in the mid 1970's followed by a 9-stage run in the RJ.500 . The V.2500 would use 10 stages, with the first 4 with variable stators, giving a pressure ratio of 20:1. [ 4 ]
A propfan, also called an open rotor engine, open fan engine [1] [2] or unducted fan (as opposed to a ducted fan), is a type of aircraft engine related in concept to both the turboprop and turbofan, but distinct from both. The design is intended to offer the speed and performance of a turbofan, with the fuel economy of a turboprop.
IAE International Aero Engines AG is a Zürich-registered joint venture aeroengine manufacturing company.. It was founded during 1983 specifically to develop an aircraft engine to address the 150-seat single aisle aircraft market, the V2500 turbofan.
The fan diameter was expected to range from 108 to 118 in while having a bypass ratio of 18:1 to 20:1. Availability of the engine was estimated between 1992 and 1994. [1] In December 1986 the V2500 SuperFan was officially offered to Airbus as powerplant for the Airbus A340 being developed at that time. With that offer, more design details were ...

Pratt & Whitney VP technology and environment Alan Epstein argued "Over the history of commercial aviation, we have gone from 20% to 40% [cruise efficiency], and there is a consensus among the engine community that we can probably get to 60%". [53] Geared turbofans and further fan pressure ratio reductions may continue to improve propulsive ...
