Default engine driven ducted fan

some posts about curved blades vs straight recently.
search didnt help
why did the turbo have straight blades?
is noise why the non turbos have curved blades?
whats the volumetric eff. of the two [three or four] diffent fan types?
any good links to this amazing item
i seem to recall on my old 9llE it was 6000 cubic ft/second at 6000 rpm, could that be true, or am i daft?? thanks in advance

If it was 1 cubic foot per engine revolution then you would get 6000 cubic feet per MINUTE (Not per second) at 6000 rpm, but even that still sounds very optimistic to me, and I would highly doubt it, unless you assume 100% efficiency. Maybe someone else will know for sure.
