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.

The engine saves about 23% of fuel compared to regular high bypass engines, of the time. (pre tripple spool compressor) |
