So in a sense, a turbofan (moving away from turbojets now) is basically
a ducted fan, driven by a smaller turbine engine. And in the case of big
high-bypass turbofans, they are essentially big ducted fans.
Yep - when you think about it, a gas-turbine engine is
a peculiarly suitable source of mechanical power for a
large ducted-fan propulsion unit.
