One interesting find - A study conducted on an aircraft powerplant design with rear-mounted S-duct, said to be meant for U(C)AVs that can travel at Mach 1.5. Likely to significantly enhance rear-aspect stealth by hiding rearward-facing engine components from reflecting radar waves.

Would be interesting to know how much thrust is lost with that kind of configuration.
Interestingly, Orca once said, "Who told you that cfm56-7 is more advanced than 56-5? It's like saying LEAP-1B is more advanced than LEAP-1A, it's stupid..."
Found something quite interesting.
Seen here is an engine with contra-rotating propellers being tested inside a soundproof room, said to be conducted by the Strength Department of an unknown institute. Most likely researching on how to reduce the propeller noise produced by the contra-rotating propellers.

Will China develop an NK-12-equivalent engine to power her future airlifters? With a max power output of more than 11000 kW for the latter variants, the NK-12 is the most powerful turboprop engine in the world, ever.
