Next set of questions:
Why is the compressor efficiency so low? LPC, 85%, HPC 85% cited by GTRE. Those imply a polytropic efficiency under 88%, whereas textbooks in the 1980s cited 92%.
What keeps our efficiency so low and have they not tried to boost that?"

Maitya, A few questions from.an observer.
1) What is overall compressor efficiency at sea level standard MIL Thrust?
2) Why is stage pressure ratio so low (~1.4) if low pressure compressor and fan are transonic, shouldn't those be much higher?
3) What is the shaft rpm of the compressor stage
