An airbreathing jet engine (or ducted jet engine) is a jet engine in which the exhaust gas which supplies jet propulsion is atmospheric air, [1] which is taken in, compressed, heated, and expanded back to atmospheric pressure through a propelling nozzle. [2]
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 .
Fan air redirection is performed by devices called "blocker doors" and "cascade vanes". This is the case on many large aircraft such as the 747, C-17, KC-10, etc. If you are on an aircraft and you hear the engines increasing in power after landing, it is usually because the thrust reversers are deployed.
The PJ-II Dreamer is a two-seat, mid-wing monoplane. [1] Propelled by ducted fans , the aircraft features a tandem seat layout with dual controls, a retractable landing gear, and a composite construction .

A turbofan or fanjet is a type of airbreathing jet engine that is widely used in aircraft propulsion.The word "turbofan" is a combination of references to the preceding generation engine technology of the turbojet and the additional fan stage.
