NASA testing new boundary layer ingesting (BLI) propulsor; 4-8% fuel burn savings over current advanced engines

MIT and NASA engineers earlier proposed the D8 Series as one future aircraft design concept that uses boundary layer ingestion. If this new design and its enabling technologies can be made to work, the BLI propulsor will produce the required thrust with less propulsive power input. Source: Hall (2016). Click to enlarge.
