No, it has to have a decent range so a Turbofan...

GTX_Admin:
Utilising a turbofan does not automatically equate to better range.

No, it doesn't.  You need to get both external and internal aerodynamics right and that sometimes gets more complicated than you'd expect.  I've been involved with some intake redesigns and there are a lot of variables to deal with in getting good, smooth airflow (if you are not likely to get smooth airflow, you need an engine that can take a lot of distortion - that's one of the main differences between the B-2's F118 and the F101 and F110.

Kerick:
I’ve heard that several plain ordinary sedans have better aerodynamics than say a super car like a Corvette. Even the older Corvettes had terrible aerodynamics and the new ones have to be even worse.
