Encyclopedia: Turbofan
A turbofan is a type of airplane engine, similar to a turbojet. It essentially consists of a ducted fan with a smaller diameter turbojet engine mounted behind it that powers the fan. Part of the airstream from the ducted fan passes through the turbojet where it is burnt to power the fan, but the majority of the flow bypasses it, and produces most of the thrust.
A few designs work slightly differently and have the fan blades as a radial extension of an aft mounted low pressure turbine unit.
