Propfan add-on

[Filippe999]

So, as we are all aware, you can install a mod like firespitter to get access to propeller blades and turboprop engines, and then the game itself offers powerful jet engines, but what about propfans?

I am sure uses for this are many as the greater fuel efficiency is generally a desired trait

I believe that several of the aircraft mods include propfans.  Near Future aeronautics has them and I'm not sure but perhaps KAX or Airplanes Plus.  NFA's aren't the mid engine mounted props like you see in the video, they are the pretty typical/turboprop looking style used on the AN-70.  The original prototypes are pretty neat looking though.

Is greater fuel efficiency really that desirable a trait when flying around in atmosphere at the restriction of physical time warp?  I'd personally rather burn a bit more fuel and get there faster.
