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

We put ours on the spine of the Jetstar and drove it with bleed air.

That DC-9 you recall probably belonged to GE, which has a test
facility in Mojave.
