Abstract: An aircraft design that is powered by an automotive engine. The aircraft having a specifically designed fan stage of a fan jet gas turbine engine located closer to the fuselage of the aircraft and to the automotive engine, eliminating the need for an expensive gear box. By locating the fan closer to the engine, the drive shaft can be shortened, thereby reducing the resonances associated with a longer drive shaft. The forward location of the fan gives the aircraft additional ground clearance, allowing for a normal rotation amount during take off and landing.
