Summary:

The effect of varying fan ratios from 08 is examined, with particular reference to high subsonic transports. Front and aft fan ratios up to 5 show progressive advantages indirect operating cost. When mounted as a group of three, with the center engine ingesting fuselage boundary layer, aft fan ratios up to 7 are worth while, and these values will rise as lower sizes, weights, and drags result from engineering developments, such as fan-turbine units optimized to suit particular aeroplanes and variable pitch fans incorporating thrust reversal
