3Welcome to Aviation.SE! Can you phrase your question in complete sentences? It's hard to understand what you want to know like this. Please have a look at the answers to What is the difference between turbojet and turbofan engines? and then edit your question to include what's still unclear to you. – Bianfable Dec 04 '21 at 11:27
