An aft-fan configuration was later used for the General Electric GE36 UDF (propfan) demonstrator of the early 1980s. In 1971 a concept was put forward by the NASA Lewis Research Center for a supersonic transport engine which operated as an aft-fan turbofan at take-off and subsonic speeds and a turbojet at higher speeds.
An axial fan is a type of fan that causes gas to flow through it in an axial direction, parallel to the shaft about which the blades rotate. The flow is axial at entry and exit. The fan is designed to produce a pressure difference, and hence force, to cause a flow through the fan. Factors which determine the performance of the fan include the ...
Lift fan is an aircraft configuration in which lifting fans are located in large holes in an otherwise conventional fixed wing [1] or fuselage. It is used for V/STOL operation. The aircraft takes off using the fans to provide lift, then transitions to fixed-wing lift in forward flight.
The deployment of FANS-1 was originally justified by improving route choice and thereby reducing fuel burn. The datalink control and display unit (DCDU) on an Airbus A330, the pilot interface for sending and receiving CPDLC messages. A similar product (FANS-A) was later developed by Airbus for the A340 and A330.

M 111 E 20 ML EVO. This is a 2.0L Kompressor engine utilizing a supercharger similar to the 2.3L M111.974 engine, but with a lower power output of 120 kW (163 PS; 161 hp) and torque of 230 N⋅m (170 lb⋅ft) @ 2500 rpm. EVO engine replacemed the Eaton M62 supercharger with Eaton M45 unit. [7]
The biplane is inherently lighter and stronger than a monoplane and was the most common configuration until the 1930s. The very first Wright Flyer I was a biplane. Unequal-span biplane : a biplane in which one wing (usually the lower) is shorter than the other, as on the Curtiss JN-4 Jenny of the First World War.
C-evo is a free turn-based strategy computer game whose source code is in the public domain [2] by German programmer and designer Steffen Gerlach. It was written in Delphi and later ported to Lazarus instead.
