Finally, after designing the fan, the design for the turbofan engine is completed. The fan, linked to the low-pressure spool, has multiple functions. Mainly, they are: reducing noise, narrowing bypassed air to create high velocity jet, generating reaction force directly from the fan's rotation, and most importantly sucking in more air for combustion.
The fan's blades were quite difficult to design, since there were a lot of curvatures than expected. Although I could have gone into the sculpt environment of Fusion 360, since I am not an expert at using the sculpt environment, I instead used the loft function to create a smooth, tangential surface between three planes to design the blades. The complete design for the turbojet engine after it is finished will be uploaded to https://sites.google.com/pupils.nlcsjeju.kr/moojokim-3d-cad-modeling/27-turbofan-engine. Browse at your own will!
