In aeronautics, a ducted fan is a thrust-generating mechanical fan or propeller mounted within a cylindrical duct or shroud. Other terms include ducted propeller or shrouded propeller . [ 1 ] When used in vertical takeoff and landing ( VTOL ) applications it is also known as a shrouded rotor .
The RFB Fantrainer (or Fan Trainer) is a two-seat flight training aircraft which uses a mid-mounted ducted fan propulsion system. Developed and manufactured by German aircraft company Rhein-Flugzeugbau GmbH (RFB), it has been used by the Royal Thai Air Force. Development of the Fantrainer commenced during the 1970s.

A turbofan achieves this by using an additional turbine to drive a ducted fan to blow air that bypasses the high speed core. With a lower core thrust, most of the thrust now comes from the large mass of low speed bypass air, providing the same thrust with a reduced fuel burn. The other penalty is that combustion is less efficient at lower speeds.

The Ryan XV-5 and the F-35B use relatively smaller lift fans, either fan-in-fuselage or fan-in-wing, with very high disc loading. According to the momentum theory of the ducted fan, [ 2 ] [ 4 ] high disc loading leads to low hovering efficiency (see power vs disc loadings , JSF fan), so the F-35B can hover for only a short time, at the cost of ...
