High Safety
· Protection by duct isolation · Low flow sensitivity to ambient air disturbances · Extra safety to blade failures
Low Noise
· Low near field noise level during take-off and landing · Potential noise reduction through acoustic treatment on the duct interior surface
High Efficiency
· 40% higher propulsion efficiency · Light-weighted composite materials
Compact Dimensions
· High blade disc loading · Compact overall dimensions · Low territory requirements for take-off and landing · Door-to-door mobility
