I found this pic on /n/so we are going back to old planes now? Did they put zoomers in main engineering position and we are going full analog? Isn't old tech le bad because new tech is le good?This shit is slow as fuck compared to modern planes.
>>527976168>full analoghas always been better, safer and more reliable.
>>527976168I asked the ai and it looks like turbofan engines have some advantages over turbojet engines in hot humid environments.
Combine what workswhy should time stand in the way ofefficiencyCombine the old with the new; whateverworks best is best, find stuff out that's good
>peruvian>no idea what he is looking at>probably works picking blueberries and keeps goats and alpaccas in his hut>"wtf is this, this prop plane like OLD plane, this not goood?!?>has never actually seen a plane in his life.lmao
>>527976168you are just retarded
>>527976168i love prop planes, but im mildly autistic
what if we just made giant zipline towers
>>527976168there have been multiple pushes to try and bring back prop planes with modern navigation and computers for the sake of scouting and fulfilling some roles that faster planes aren't well suited forbut congress always said no viewing it as a step backwardsdrones have kind of made everything piloted by people obsolete compared with unmanned drones
>>527976168Its a shitty ai render, but might work. A propeller to funnel air into a turbine. Maybe it will keep the birds out too
I'm sure there's some advantage to using ICEs over turbines. mostly simpler repair and maintenance
>>527976780oh that is a turbine, with props. nvm>now it's even more difficult to maintain and repair
>>527976618>be amerimutt>have mutilated penis>get shot
>>527976168The old turbo prop have always been more efficient than jet engines, but they couldn't reach the high speed required.Open fan designs aren't new, but materials technologies were not up to the task in the past, especially because of the noise. Now they think they'd be able to make them viable and save another 15-20% in fuel economy.
>>527976168what is safer, more reliable, and easier to maintaina prop engineor a jet engine
>>527976720Turbines don't need any assistance from fucking propellers. That design makes no sense.
>>527976842well that's just fucking retarded
None of you retards have any idea what you're looking at.
>>527976168what in the ai hallucination is that garbage
>>527976168There is a shit ton of old tech that didn’t proceed for one reason or another.Sometimes it was as simple as “we can use this readily available part from this existing other project and have 51% efficiency over existing tech starting tomorrow @ $0.03 each ; or we can build all of the tooling and processes for this other part that will achieve 500% efficiency but will take 10 years @ $35,000 each.”Add 30-70 years of time and now all of that expensive tooling might exist for other shit and be much cheaper.3d printers are just old tech combined in a new way, and there are parts that cost $0.15 in 2012 prices but would have been $10,000 in 1970 because back then they were only used in satellites and precision lab equipment and they weren’t mass produced in China like they are these days.There’s probably a lot of aviation stuff that was just too massive and got set aside over the years in favor of constant cheaper smaller improvements that didn’t require entirely new systems.
>>527976846you know who doesn't have mutilated penis in amerika?Mexicans and other illegalsthat is why white mutts are so for ICE - it is all about purity of mutilated penises
>>527976926>Doesn't know about turbo prop engineswew lad.
>>527976168just wait until you read about fuel cell concepts.
>>527976168looks circumcised
>>527976846
>>527977075Beaners have mutilated penii's because their mother chews on them starting at the age of three until they get married
>>527977075Circumcision is BASED! (for amerimutts)
>>527976690Your mom would be too heavy and break it.
>>527977000I thought the props were supposed to be on the rear of the engine too.
>>527976318Do you think turbojets are digital or something?
>>527976168>>527976318turbines are full analog you abject fucking retards
>>527976349the turboprop is my favorite way to fly.>you know you're flying>you feel every bit of turbulence and changes in air pressure>they're loud>they look cool as fuck>they filter faggots who can't into actually flying
>>527976926It depends on the bypass ratio. Jet engines are only as capable as the volume of air they can move, props allow an increase in this volume at the cost of high speed performance dependent on the length of the blades (for sub sonic tip velocities etc). Jet engines "don't need" props yes, however a SCRAM jet can't even start until sufficient air volume is reached as an example
>>527976846to be fair, at least they have a better economy than us....so they can pay higher taxes to the jews.Everything is balanced as it should be, argie-anon.
>>527976168>shit is slow as fuckSame speed, higher efficiency, higher bypass ratios. Almost a certain eventuality. Get used to it.
>>527976318None of you retards even know what analog or digital means.
>>527976168>back to old planesThat's really how you see this?>>527976628Yeah, kinda.
>>527977075at least we're deporting shitskins unlike you lot that are putting your necks on the chopping line for abdul like sheep to the slaughter
>>527977544This could be a design constraint of the wing attachment, I don't know enough about the airflow conditions from this design but from a quick scan "propfan" engines appear to prefer a blade at the back. I suspect the design constraint is more based around conventional wing attachments than purely aerodynamics
>focus on safetyOK so when some worthless nigger walks infront of the blades and it gets diced, you can just cancel the billions of dollars investment into the new technology.
>>527976168It's called an unducted fan. It's not old, it was first invented in the '80s.It's a type of jet engine.
>>527978181>BBClol
>>527976684they are sooo loud tho
>>527976318>american education
>>527976318Agreed. I’ve always wanted an aircraft. And I always wanted that to be a dual turbo prop. Most reliable, low maintenance, durable and best range aircraft out there. This new tech does look promising.
>>527976168>>BBOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMM

>>527976168You don’t know what you’re talking about, the internal jet turbines are effectively extended to the outside, it’s actually more efficient and this has been investigated for over 40yrs.

>>527977030This, resulting in a lazy idiocracy with a "cheap-made future" in a freefall economy of ideas and invasion of Dalit munchers signalling the Death of your civilization. Totally not by design btw
>>527978367Maybe. I just remember these new engines essentially being put on "backwards" in the tests.
>>527976168I'm not saying that all tech before modernity is bad, but wouldn't we already be using propellers if they were superior to jet engines? I mean we've had plenty of time for the the relevant companies to design the things. I just think it would have happened by now
>>527976168Pulse jets making a comeback?
>>527976168the main reason that prop fans are a problem is that making a propeller where the tips do not exceed the speed of sound is a problem. which is why the blades are often shorter.prop jets are more fuel efficient.
>>527977030thank you anon, that's a very good explanation
That looks like it would get broken by a single bird.
>>527976962>>527976842>>527977030>>527981914>>527981917This is literally just a high bypass turbofan but without the cowling to enable even more bypassBiggest difference is variable pitch stators and the blades are strong enough where the duct and cowling can be safely removed and not pose a risk on bride strikes or blade failureLess "old tech" and more perfecting what's already pretty good, it just looks similar to a prop

>>527976168>>527976318>analogYou retards don't understand what this word means. Analog does not mean "old tech" and digital does not mean "new tech." Analog means that your instrument operate along a continuum of values; digital means that your instrument has inputs encoded into discrete values of 0's and 1's which approximate the input signal. Digital circuitry became dominant because miniaturization of transistors and operational amplifiers allowed for the digitization of input data.

>>527982164thank you Anon
God I love aviation threads as someone who works in aviation. They remind me of just how fucking retarded you all are so I can easily close the site and do literally anything else.
>>527982164Well I think no blade fan or turbine is safer Also ran with diesel not jet fuel
>>527982649Why not strap a few big ones on a 747No blades uses diesel
>>527976168Jet engines are too expensive to maintain now and jet fuel is too expensive as well. Most airlines are either operating at a loss or are barely profitable. So yeah, they are returning to older technologies in order to cut costs.
>>527983582Would pulse jets solve these problems?
>>527983245Would you feel more safer if the jet had no blades and uses diesel fuel?I'm sure a pulse jet can be tuned to put out a certain frequency so sounds like binary beats and not buzzing?
>>527976168Jet engines have been moving in this direction for ages. Consider how they keep making the fan larger and larger. This is just the next step in that evolution. Larger fans are more efficient.
>>527983801Why not make a giant pulse jets?
>>527976168>Turbo prop but on drugs>fins on the jet engine shell>and presumably still a jet engine inside.... but why?
>>527976699>but congress always said no viewing it as a step backwardsThe US just acquired turboprop aircraft that is similar to the Embraer Tucano to fill a CAS role in counter-insurgency environments. So Congress is starting to come around on the idea of being back turboprop aircraft.
>>527976846bodied
You can make valveless and fanless pulse jets no moving partsIt would survive and keep working after getting hit by a flock of seagulls
>>527983664I don't know. I'm not familiar with that technology so I can't speak intelligently about it.
>>527983763>Would you feel more safer if the jet had no blades and uses diesel fuel?No. I'd feel safer if it lacked the opportunity to fall out of the sky at all under any circumstance.
>>527976168Are u tellin' me moar blades is maor FASTER?!
>all you fags that dont know a turbine jet actually uses props for thrust
>>527976168Jet pussies fear the turbo-swinging dick Chads

>>527984578Here me out Zeppelin with pulse jets
>>527977607They're either on or off, so...
>>527976699It is a step backwards.
>>527976168>This shit is slow as fuckBut very efficient because of the high bypass ratio. Only reason they weren't used is because turboprops are loud as fuck but they apparently have workarounds for the noise now that make them worth considering again.

Just because you see it has fans doesn't mean is an "old plane" there are plenty of new technologies inside that are focused in fuel consumption optimization >>527976846Defending Perú of all things is a weird hill to die on
>>527976168whats the point of a turboprop? its just a nerfed jet. If youre gonna pay extra for a turbine just make it a jet so you arent inherently speed limited by the prop.
>>527983200>I bet you think nuclear reactors magically create electricity from radioactive rocks hooked up to a batteryradioactive rocks cook water for ever producing steam turning turbines that turn dynamic which produce electricity connected to whole grid with energy substations (those that Russians bomb in Ukraine) Batteries and capacitors store energy for stability of constant supply.

>>527983200>turbofans, not "jet" engines that you would see on a fighter airplane.To be more precise most modern jet fighters have turbofans. Just with a lower bypass ratio than on an airliner. Turbojets were only used on older planes like Starfighter or MiG-21 or on high performace interceptors like the MiG-31.
>>527976349>I asked the AICompletely negates your statement. AI will lie confidently and idiots like you will believe it.
>>527976975>None of you retards have any idea what you're looking at.Yeah, you dumb fucks don't seem to understand or know how a plane's jet engine even works. Just hurrrr durrr that's an old school propeller. Even before I took 10 seconds to look it up I figured it was just an exposed jet rotor for better efficiency. Being modern transport jets don't need to be faster. They need to cut fuel costs. This design with an exposed rotor is said to be 20% more efficient. Even 10% would be huge...https://youtu.be/4XfTu6dokjc?si=oPTuWYtGQYkJ5IuO
>>527987770its real, there was several threads here on the ridiculousness of it a few years ago.
SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>527990291>20% more efficient. Even 10% would be huge...Variable pitch will pump up efficiency at lower speeds. There's plenty to gain there.
>>527976168Aren't all the analog systems past copyright? They are also far cheaper and easier to maintain. No way they are going to let that happen.
>>527976349>explain this image to me, thing that can't see.Brilliant plan, anon. By the way, that's a turboprop in >>527976168Turbofans are what commercial airlines use currently.
>>527976168Isn’t this the type of plane that fell out of the sky over Brazil or some shit not too long ago? It didn’t even nose dive it just fell belly down.
>>527976168These are called open fan engines and they are being investigated as the next gen of jet engines as they reduce fuel use by like 30% without the performance limitations of typical propellers.
>>527991805No that was an ATR-72 which is a turboprop, the picture is of a jet aircraft with an open fan concept design. Basically a jet engine without outer casing for increased efficiency.
>>527990142The irony is that it didn't ask an AI, it IS an AI, lying confidently.

They just took it on France's word... sound familiar to anything more recent?
>>527976318exposed blade, birds, jeet maintenance crew - it'll be fine.
>>527976168Most modern commercial jet engines have more in common with propeller-driven engines than the turbojets you see on military aircraft. For almost every jet engine you see at the airport, the fan in the front is providing most of the power. The air ingested into the engine and used for combustion is minimized, used only to turn the fan and force air around the combustion chamber. How much air goes around the chamber is expressed as "bypass ratio." Modern jet engines have a bypass ratio of 10:1 or 15:1, which means that for every unit volume of air that goes into the combustion chamber, 10-15 do not. This new engine is simply leaning into this even more, and has gotten rid of the cowling. You'll notice that the blades don't look like propeller blades, they look like turbine blades, but much larger.>t. plane autist
>>527985988America can literally never pay to replace to repair those planes.That's why they aren't a threat anymore.

>>527995143Voepass was pilot error, no argument here.American Eagle was not. BEA tried to blame the pilots; the NTSB refuted it in their final report.
>>527976168I know you non STEM brainlets think Jet Engines are some sort of Rocket Motor that turns Jet Fuel into Can't melt steel beams but for 50 years now since the invention of high bypass ration Turbofan Jet engines have been just that. Fans driven by a jet engine motor. 75-90% of thrust in todays engine is produced by the Turbofan aka the propellers you see on the front spinning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFM_International_LEAPSomething like this has a 10:1 to 11:1 bypass ratio meaning it's basically just a fancy propeller. At this point the entire covering of the jet engine becomes meaningless hence the CFM Rises ditching of the outer covers.

Liquified, compressed hydrogen, if conformal tanking technology were available, would allow for interesting mass balance considerations that might change limitations in CG, opening up novel designs.Aside from that, it burns better at high altitude and is carbon free with reduced contrail persistence
>>527997219Mom, that's AI right?Worse son, it's niggers.
>>527984757>Here me out Zeppelin with pulse jetsZeppelins equipped with He-162 launching bays and LuftSturmTruppen armed to make air assaults with jet packs would have been kino.
>>527976168they're chasing fuel efficiency now instead of speed.
>>527990427Came to the thread for this.

>>527996403>be american>have penis mutilated for your demonic overlords in satanic ritual>penis ugly and smelly>see mexicans>penis big and strong, not mutilated >be angry>invent ICE to deport normal penis ownersyeap, ICE is all about penis envy
>>527976168Those are high efficiency. Russians use them but they are loud
>>527976618>>probably works picking blueberries and keeps goats and alpaccas in his hutHonestly, add in internet and a comfy hut in Peruvian countryside, and that sounds pretty nice
>>527976684TRAINS nigga TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINS
>>527976168It's just turboprop evolution. Nothing wrong with turboprops, they have their place. Only reason people don't run them more is because dopes who don't know shit about shit see a propeller and think "old".
>>527976318This jew is correct.And completely retarded. We should mass push for complete and total de-digitalizing.
>>527996161Not quite a stabilized approach.
The future is cylindrical ships screwing around across the ocean
>>527995966It would have no moving parts so no problem
>>527976168these are going to be loud as fuck
>>528002182Hear me out: Nuclear airplanes.Not just boiling water (a la NB-36), but nuclear explosion.
>>528002448>(a la NB-36)
>>527976168I think there was micro-cracking & fracture issues with that type.
>>527981949is that the main driver of the noise problem with these?isnt blade failure also a concern? , perhaps in the past .
>>527994313It's not 2024 anymore boomer, asking the AI is perfectly reasonable as it just basically pulls oout search results and condenses them instead of hallucinating.
>>527976168This is actually a technological advancement. That is a propfan (sometimes referred to as open fan as in OP's pic), which combines a turbofan and turboprop into one engine. you can see the compressor blades of the turbofan right behind the props here in the rendered model. By having both a prop and fan, you gain the best of both words as props are more efficient at lower velocities and altitudes while fans are more efficient at higher velocities and altitudes. This allows you to achieve maximum fuel efficiency throughout the entirety of a flight.
>>527997219ok, this is funny (and sad) but why doesn't it work?
