Geared turbofan engine with targeted modular efficiency

A turbofan engine includes a fan section including a fan blade having a leading edge and hub to tip ratio of less than about 0.34 and greater than about 0.020 measured at the leading edge and a speed change mechanism with gear ratio greater than about 2.6 to 1. A first compression section includes a...

Zusammenfassung:A turbofan engine includes a fan section including a fan blade having a leading edge and hub to tip ratio of less than about 0.34 and greater than about 0.020 measured at the leading edge and a speed change mechanism with gear ratio greater than about 2.6 to 1. A first compression section includes a last blade trailing edge radial tip length that is greater than about 67% of the radial tip length of a leading edge of a first stage of the first compression section. A second compression section includes a last blade trailing edge radial tip length that is greater than about 57% of a radial tip length of a leading edge of a first stage of the first compression section.
