Fan B (Core) from the NASA Quiet Engine Program
This fan map is found in the NASA contractor report CR-2519, figure 18. Use this map together with the Fan B (Bypass) map from, figure 17.
About this fan
This fan was a full-scale, single-stage experimental fan developed in the early 1970s under NASA's Experimental Quiet Engine Program. The program aimed to integrate high-bypass-ratio engine technology and noise-reduction techniques to significantly lower noise emissions on subsonic civil transport aircraft.

Tables for use with performance programs
The map tables are available in four variants:
- FanBcoreNotExtnd_B_GasTurb.txt
- FanBcoreNotExtnd_B_NPSS.txt
- FanBcoreExtnd_B_GasTurb.txt
- FanBcoreExtnd_B_NPSS.txt
Note that the file extension must be changed to MAP after downloading if you want to use the map with GasTurb.
