Abstract:
A turbofan aircraft engine having a primary duct (C), including a combustion chamber (BK), a first turbine (HT) disposed downstream of the combustion chamber, a compressor (HC) disposed upstream of the combustion chamber and coupled (W1) to the first turbine, and a second turbine (L) disposed downstream of the first turbine and coupled (W2) via a speed reduction mechanism (G) to a fan (F) for feeding a secondary duct (B) of the turbofan aircraft engine. A square of a ratio of a maximum blade diameter (DF) of the fan to a maximum blade diameter (DL) of the second turbine is at least 3.5, in particular at least 4.
