What is another word for turbofans?
Pronunciation: [tˈɜːbɒfənz] (IPA) 
Turbofans are a type of jet engine commonly used in commercial aircraft. However, there are several synonyms for the term that may be used interchangeably, such as fanjet, high-bypass turbofan, and geared turbofan. Fanjet refers to the engine's design that incorporates a fan in the front of the engine, which pushes large amounts of air into the engine and out the back. High-bypass turbofan emphasizes the engine's high bypass ratio, which determines how much air is moved around the engine. Geared turbofans, on the other hand, are defined by their use of a gearbox to power the fan and improve fuel efficiency. Regardless of the term used, turbofans continue to propel modern air travel forward.
