2. Wide chord - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_chord

   The wide chord fan on a Rolls-Royce Trent 970B- 84 installed on a British Airways Airbus A380. Wide chord describes the fan blades on certain turbofan engines that have a blade design with a specific geometry - In layman's terms, they would be described as having wider blades than other jet engines.

3. Axial fan design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_fan_design

   An axial fan is a type of fan that causes gas to flow through it in an axial direction, parallel to the shaft about which the blades rotate. The flow is axial at entry and exit.

4. Turbofan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbofan

   The fan blades are situated outside of the duct, so that it appears like a turboprop with wide scimitar-like blades. Both General Electric and Pratt & Whitney/Allison demonstrated propfan engines in the 1980s. Excessive cabin noise and relatively cheap jet fuel prevented the engines being put into service.

5. Pratt & Whitney F100 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratt_&_Whitney_F100

   The Pratt & Whitney F100 (company designation JTF22 [1]) is a low bypass afterburning turbofan engine. It was designed and manufactured by Pratt & Whitney to power the U.S. Air Force's "FX" initiative in 1965, which became the F-15 Eagle.

6. Pratt & Whitney F119 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratt_&_Whitney_F119

   The shroud-less fan has wide-chord, low aspect ratio hollow titanium fan blades that are linear-friction welded to the disks to form single-piece integrally-bladed rotors (IBRs), or blisks. The fan and compressor stators and thrust-vectoring nozzle use a burn-resistant titanium alloy called Alloy C, with the first row of vanes variable in order ...

7. Variable pitch fan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_pitch_fan

   In the 1980s the General Electric GE36 Unducted Fan (UDF), which actually flew on a McDonnell Douglas MD-80, employed two rows of contra-rotating variable pitch fan blades, albeit without any fan casing because it was a prop-fan engine.
