The “Pocket Protectors” (2 Variations UDF or GTF) 6 Pros Increased aerodynamic efficiency for lower drag Decreased noise with engines mounted on top Lighter structure Cons Increased manufacturing complexity Increased maintenance costs

7 The “Side Part” Pros Conventional design Decrease manufacturing cost Decrease maintenance cost Increase noise shielding Cons Not as efficient as a Blended Wing Body design

8 The “Suspenders” Pros Semi-blended wing design Circular pressure vessels Maintenance and manufacturing complexity not as high as a BWB design Cons Higher drag from increased surface area
