DESCRIPTION:The aviation sector consumes 12% of the fossil fuel used in tr
 ansportation\, corresponding to about 2% of all human-induced CO2 emission
 s. Open rotor engines have the potential to cut fuel consumption by 25-30%
  compared with current aircraft.\n\nI will start off with a brief history 
 of jet engines\, explain why open rotor engines are more efficient\, descr
 ibe how their design has changed since the 1980s\, and finish with an over
 view of the future challenges for open rotors.
