What would this engine look like if it were designed to work on the Saturnian moon Titan, sucking fuel from the atmosphere and consuming oxygen out of on board tanks?

While this is a great description of a High Bypass, Low Compression engine, or turbofan it is not the only kind of jet engine. The other kind of engine is a turbojet engine, which is High Compression, Low Bypass and developes its thrust from combustion rather than the fan section.

I work on turbojets, so I'm partial to those.
