air dumped sideways out of the engine produces no thrust. So a more efficient system was required

The Two Shaft Layout Allows front end of compressor to slow down move less air and Allows rear end of compressor to speed up move more air
Turbo Jet
The turbojet is the simplest and earliest form of gas turbine. Used principally in high speed aircraft where its relatively low frontal area and high jet velocity are advantages. Examples are the Concorde supersonic transport and a variety of military aircraft including the Dominie/HS125.

Low Bypass Engine
Rolls Royce Spey Adour BR710 Series
Part of the air is compressed fully and passes into the combustion chamber, while the remainder is compressed to a lesser extent and ducted around the hot section.

Turbo Fan
Turbofan engines are loosely categorised by the size of the bypass compared to the core flow.
(The amount of air entering the core engine compared to the bypass duct)
which is called the Bypass Ratio. The low bypass ratio is approximately 1:1. Half the air goes through the core or hot section, the other half goes through the bypass. Medium bypass engines have a 5:1 ratio, while high bypass have a ratio of 10:1 or more.
Turbo Fan
The turbofan (bypass) reduces overall jet velocity, giving better propulsive efficiency at lower speeds, lower noise levels and improved specific fuel consumption, features which make the turbofan ideal for both civil and military aircraft. Examples are the Boeing 747 and 757, the Jaguar and Hawk, and the Tornado. The Harrier has a variation of the turbofan.

Turbo Prop
The turboprop is basically a turbojet with an extra turbine designed to absorb the energy remaining in the gas stream after sufficient has been removed to drive the compressor. The turboprop is a very efficient power unit for relative low speed, low altitude aircraft. Examples are the 748 and F27, and the Transall C-160 and Atlantic.

Turbo Shaft
The turboshaft is virtually a turboprop without a propeller. The power turbine absorbs as much of the remaining gas energy as possible and the residual thrust is very low.
The main use of the turboshaft is the helicopter and industrial and marine application, including power and pumping stations, hovercraft and ships.
Examples are the Lynx, Chinook and the Sea King.
