A propfan delivers 35% better SFC than contemporary turbofans, but it is very
noisy. Therefore, application requires further passive and active noise protection
measures which must also be included in the cost calculation. Military transporters
use propfans because of their low fuel consumption and high durability.

16.6 Costs in Shipping

A ship's prices depend on its complexity, i.e., on the propulsion, the engine, and
the auxiliary equipment, etc. Technology increasingly defines the costs of ships,
not only in the military but also in the civil shipping too (see Table 16.4 ).
