The General Electric GE36 was an experimental aircraft engine, a hybrid between a turbofan and a turboprop, known as an unducted fan (UDF) or propfan. The GE36 was developed by General Electric Aircraft Engines,[3] with its CFM International equal partner Snecma taking a 35 percent share of development.[4] Development was cancelled in 1989.
