I recall seeing GE tested scimitar shaped pusher prop engines, I think
it was on a 727.

I seem to recall it being on the right engine of a DC-9. I wonder what became
of that idea.

I remember what may be the same picture, a DC-9 fitted with a high-bypass
turbofan, and multiple scimitar-shaped fan blades extending from the
first-stage fan. Damned if I can find it now, though. Nothing like it so
far on the NASA Dryden site. Any other ideas?
