Turbo Fan
A close up of a KC-135 Stratotanker’s F108 turbofan engine. The engines, an upgrade from previous models and designated as a KC-135R, can offload 50 percent more fuel, are 25 percent more fuel efficient, costs 25 percent less to operate and are 96 percent quieter than the previous KC-135E models. The KC-135 has four engines mounted under their swept wings and each engine is capable of producing up to 21,634 pounds of thrust. (U.S. Air National Guard photo illustration by 1st Lt.
