One of the things from the Paris airshow that's got me going: huh, neat. Is this odd little "unducted fan" originally a concept from the 80s, that to my memory worked pretty well then for improving efficiency, but the airlines apparently didn't care about it.

Kinda looks like a daisy of doom

Cause I'm trying to beat info about propeller governor mechanics into my head rn, this thing's got me very curious as to how it works.

Maybe I'll get to poke around in it one of these days and find out >w>
