Jet engines may be the greatest invention that men could possibly come up with in those days, but not now. With increasing technological advances the jet engine, it seems, backed up a step. However, this does not mean that there is no room for improvement. Jet engines can be much quieter and more efficient than they are today. The solution is simple – all we have to do is add a transmission. The disadvantage is that the process that took nearly 30 years.
This new type of engine was brought to the public Pratt & Whitney’ and innovations that change the cold modern jet engine called the PurePower Geared Turbofan (GTF). The innovation is quite simple. If we take a conventional turbofan engine, we will see that it is with the fan on the front panel for air to take a smaller turbine inside. These components use the shaft, but it is not as effective as it sounds. If they both are spinning at the optimum speed, the fan on the front panel will go much slower than inside the turbine and therefore it would be quieter and more efficient. Solution? Transmission.
