Which limitation arises when designing ultra-high bypass turbofan engines?

💡 Explanation

Fan diameter increases to drive bypass, causing increased tip speed. Transonic drag occurs with parts approaching or exceeding speed of sounds because the fan's accelerating airflow results in quickly-rising localized drag, therefore airspeed has to remain low, rather than a faster desired flight speed.
