2. Ducted fan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducted_fan

   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 .

3. Propfan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propfan

   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.

4. Fan coil unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_coil_unit

   Due to their simplicity, flexibility, and easy maintenance, fan coil units can be more economical to install than ducted 100% fresh air systems (VAV) or central heating systems with air handling units or chilled beams. FCUs come in various configurations, including horizontal (ceiling-mounted) and vertical (floor-mounted), and can be used in a ...

5. Fan (machine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_(machine)

   Building heating and cooling systems commonly use squirrel-cage fans driven by separate electric motors connected by belts. Standalone fans are usually powered by an electric motor, often attached directly to the motor's output, with no gears or belts. The motor is either hidden in the fan's center hub or extends behind it.

6. Pusher configuration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pusher_configuration

   Similarly, propeller failure is less likely to directly endanger the crew. [citation needed] A pusher ducted fan system offers a supplementary safety feature attributed to enclosing the rotating fan in the duct, therefore making it an attractive option for various advanced UAV configurations or for small/personal air vehicles or for aircraft ...

7. Propulsive efficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propulsive_efficiency

   The propulsive efficiency is always less than one, because conservation of momentum requires that the exhaust have some of the kinetic energy, and the propulsive mechanism (whether propeller, jet exhaust, or ducted fan) is never perfectly efficient. It is greatly dependent on exhaust expulsion velocity and airspeed.
