The turbofan or fanjet is a type of airbreathing jet engine that finds wide use in aircraft propulsion. The word `turbofan` is a portmanteau of `turbine` and `fan`: the turbo portion refers to a gas turbine engine which takes mechanical energy from combustion, and the fan, a ducted fan that uses the mechanical energy from the gas turbine to ...

turbofan, fan jet 1. A jet engine in which fans driven by a turbine force air into the exhaust gases, thereby increasing the propelling thrust of the engine. 2. A jet aircraft that has turbofan engines. A type of gas turbine in which the fan driving air into a turbojet also forces additional air around the outside of the turbine, combining it wit...

Jet engine of the type used by most airliners, so called because of its huge front fan. The fan sends air not only into the engine for combustion but also around the engine for additional thrust. This results in a faster and more fuel-efficient propulsive jet (see jet propulsion)
