Turbofan engines concept art (More will come!)

[BuzzLightyear]

Here is the second concept art of a Turbofan engine.
Engine designation: GE90
Class: Large
Size: 12x32
Thrust: 520 kN
Mass: 8.7 tons
Fuel consumption: 49 g/kN/s

YES. THIS.

Ooh its nice!

I'm totally on board with the concept, just wondering about the application. The only airplane I knew of still using those old JT8s was the MD80 series. Most of them are MD90s now, with the V2500 HB turbofan. Way quieter, but larger. My point was more toward relevance and currency, nothing else sir. Looks pretty cool, BTW. That would be pretty handy to have.

JT8 is still used in some 737's, MD-80s are mostly used for domestic and taxi services now. The reason it is not obsolete is because it's design makes it capable of supersonic flight, making it useful for aircrafts that need to fly above Mach 2, probably military or research. The V2500 HB is not, but it is more economical and can produce more max thrust on take-off , so I guess it's replacement makes sense.

Friend sitting in engine: lol flying an airplane is easy just put on autopilot lmao
me in cockpit: main engine 1 on, full thrust

Fly a plane for more than 10000 hours and it'll be as easy as riding a bike.

EDIT: Make it 3000 hours

oops my bad. AUTOPILOT WAS ON

Your joke makes zero sense.

you kill a friend in an engine cuz they say flying is easy use autopilot, then blame their death on A/P

First of all, immediately running an aircraft engine to 100% thrust will require the engine to run at idling speed of around 35%, and that alone will be more than enough to suck a person in, and your "friend" will be turned into mince meat before he can even utter "lol".

Autopilot cannot be turned on until you have reached cruising altitude and speed. The only hard part is take off and landing, or an emergency landing.

True as with anything. Are you a pilot/aviation enthusiast?
I love aviation, and Ive flown a cessna a few times... but that doesn't really count…

Cruising just use AP if you got it, trim if ya don't

You flown a piper? I am interested in both aircraft and rocketry

No. I prefer high wing aircraft so you can see the world below.

I call every high wing aircraft a piper, small ones of course, not that AC-130

At least your not like my friend. he pointed to a b777 and called it a… drumroll please… BOEING A380!

The A380 is made by Airbus, not Boeing.

I know. he doesnt. airbus a380 boeing 777.

Look up an-225

 

[8BitCosmonaut]

Look up an-225

By pipers, I also include the use of turboprop or propeller-piston engines, the Mriya uses turbofan engines. You speak like I don't know about the An-225, funny, when that plane is one of the greatest marvel of aircraft engineering where every living engineer won't shut up about. Next time, try picking a more obscure aircraft.

 

[Earlmilly1]

Nono it was a joke cuz You said any high wing plane is a piper and an an225 is like the opposite...

I only call those planes pipers if they are small.

Add fire on hit

Add fire on hit

Depends on what type of damage we're dealing with
