A multiple bypass turbofan engine including a core engine assembly has a fan bypass duct radially outward of the core engine assembly and has first and second inlets disposed between forward and aft fans driven by a low pressure turbine and a core engine turbine respectively. An inlet duct having an annular duct wall is disposed radially inward of the bypass duct and connects the second inlet to the bypass duct and has disposed within a supercharger means for compressing air which is drivingly connected to the core turbine. The engine has an duct with an afterburner in an upstream portion and at a downstream end it has an exhaust nozzle with a fixed geometry throat. The nozzle may also have a fixed geometry exhaust nozzle outlet with or without a means for blowing at the throat. One embodiment of the aft fan may have radially inner and outer rows of aft fan vane airfoils separated by a non-rotatable portion of the annular duct wall such that the outer row of aft fan vane airfoils are disposed in the inlet duct and the aft fan vane airfoils are independently variable. Radially inner and outer rows of aft fan rotor blade airfoils are separated by a rotatable portion of the annular duct wall such that the outer row of aft fan rotor blade airfoils are disposed in the inlet duct adjacent to and longitudinally aft of radially inner and outer rows of aft fan vane airfoils, respectively thus providing the supercharger means.
