Propulsive Performance Of Different Jet Engines
Propulsive Efficiency At 100mph: Turbo Prop:40% High By Pass Turbojet:30% Low By Pass Turbojet:30% Pure Turojet:15% At 400mph: Turbo Prop:80% High By Pass Turbojet:70% Low By Pass Turbojet:65% Pure Turojet:45% Pure Turbojets have much higher efficiency at high speeds, about 1000mph and above. Turboprops are very effective at lower speeds, under 400mph. Vertical/Short take-off and landing engines (VSTOL) such as the Rolls Royce Pegasus, can be used to take off from very short distance runways, or even just strait up!
