Does anyone know of anyone or have contact details of anybody who has or is developing a Turbo Fan engine (not a Turbo Prop engine).

Don't think this has made it into production yet. Probably cost the same as a Turboprop engine.

Interesting to hear in the above video (from Nov 2011) that they got thrust increased about 42% and noice reduced about half with the fan (Schübeler) added to the turbine.

The latest Jet Power has an article about this Fantrainer:

It is based on the Wren 44 turboprop, but with higher gearing. The fan blades were homemade after the original drawings.
