The fan facediameter of the new engine was assumed to be that of the current General Electric F136 engines that are being tested.They are currently using a fan face diameter of 48 inches (even though production engines will use a 43 inch diameterfan face). Low bypass turbofans typically have smaller fan face diameters; however, as the bypass ratio increases the fanface diameter would increase as well. Since future technology is being taken into account it is likely that the engine thatwould produce this thrust would have a larger bypass ratio but a smaller core keeping the fan face diameter comparableto current sizes. The length of the engine was estimated based on lengths of recent engines. Engines used for comparisoninclude the F100, F101, F110, and F404. Engine lengths varied from about 150 to 200 inches. The engine length wasdetermined to be 192 inches as this engine is a more advanced engine requiring higher thrust production.30
