Original Abstract Submitted
a turbomachinery engine comprises a ducted fan, a high-pressure compressor, a low-pressure turbine, a gearbox, and a ducted engine correlation parameter (decp). the decp is within a range of 0.10-0.25 and is defined as 10*d/gr/n/n, where d is a fan blade tip diameter at a leading edge of the ducted fan measured in feet, gr is a gear ratio of the gearbox, nis a stage count of the low-pressure turbine, and nis a stage count of the high-pressure compressor.
