In order to reduce the hijacking of Acrojets F16 thread which is about his aircraft, rather than the powerplant, I've started this thread to carry on the discussion about turbine engines as there appears to be keen interest in the subject.

I'll start by adding to the discussion about turbofan engines on the F16 thread as follows:

The PW610F of around 950lbf thrust has a fan diameter of less than 14" (ref PW600 | Pratt & Whitney Canada) so our 700lbf turbofan could possibly be a little smaller. The ability to fabricate a fan to suit this 700lbf turbofan engine is becoming both easier and cheaper as manufacturing technology improves.

So maybe we can take up the discussion about small turbine engines here, rather than waylaying Acrojets F16 thread.
