85% Fuselage Axial Position
Maximises fuselage drag ingestion
Fan disk burst corridors do not interfere
with cabin or critical empennage zones
Tail scrape angle is 12°  acceptable
Sizing Implications and Outcome
Net thrust split approx. 77% for the
under-wing podded and 23% for the FF
Increased structural weight due to
+2.0 m fuselage length, installation of
FF at aft-fuselage, larger empennage
and fin structural reinforcements
-20% in propulsion efficiency due to BLI
-9.2% block fuel relative to 2035R and
-38.3% relative to SoAR

DMFC – Aero-Airframe and Power-Train
Aero-Airframe Analysis
ONERA computations for
Isikveren et al., 2014
Appropriate aircraft body contouring
and alignment of nacelle tilt is at a
premium in avoiding super-velocities
Increase in FPR has a significant
impact on local Mach, thereby, lift and
boundary layer thickness
Power Supply & Transmission
Mirzoyan et al., 2014

Core straddled by 2 fans on either side
Relative positioning between core/fans
chosen to minimise axial loading
Mechanical gearing losses are 2%;
heat generation requires dedicated
thermal regulation and control system

Important Findings and Next Steps
Projected Evolution of Current Approach
For medium-range wide-bodies 30-32% reduction in CO2-emission by 2035
SRIA 2035 stipulates 51% in CO2 reduction from airframe and propulsion
Propulsive Fuselage Concept
Net thrust split approx. 77% for the under-wing podded and 23% for the Fuselage Fan
-9.2% block fuel relative to 2035R and -38.3% relative to SoAR
Distributed Multiple-Fans Concept [work-in-progress]
Care needs to be taken in alignment of nacelle tilt and design of aircraft body contour
Mechanical transmission emphasis is to reduce axial loading and gearing losses
Next Steps
Refining the DMFC sizing; preliminary examination of hybrid-electric PFC and DMFC
Operating economics analysis and associated benchmarking against SoAR and 2035R
CO2-emission assessment of PFC and DMFC improvements relative to SoAR and 2035R
will be conducted; preliminary noise predictions also to take place
