fan pressure ratio

The ratio of the fan discharge pressure to the fan inlet pressure.

The results showed a net fuel burn reduction of approximately 9% because of the lower fan pressure ratio and boundary layer ingestion.

Tradeoff Study between Cost and Environmental Impact of Aircraft Using Simultaneous Optimization of Airframe and Engine Cycle

The new engine has internal variable geometry features that allow the system to vary the bypass ratio and fan pressure ratio, optimizing engine operation for varying flight conditions.

GE's ultimate flying machine

Based on installed performance evaluation, this engine optimizes at a fan pressure ratio of 1.3 and a bypass ratio in the range of 12 to 13.The comparable open rotor engine has an effective "bypass ratio" level in excess of 20.

Next generation of transport Engines--very high bypass ratio turbofans vs open rotor engines

(1) is largely determined by bypass flow in a high bypass engine the fan pressure ratio (which could be 1.6 for a bypass ratio of 8:1) is the key parameter.
