The question was sincere...
Do those three thin blades really catch all the air they reasonably can?
The old multi-blade water pump windmills would seem to really catch and harvest the energy from their disk/column much better.
....and are there aerodynamic implications to this that transfer between turboprops vs turbofans vs turbojets?
