Attention was given to buried engines in the rear fuselage which ingest fuselage boundary layer air. It is shown that this type of integrated installation potentially offers significant improvements in overall performance, especially if cruise Mach numbers are to be increased into the high subsonic/transonic speed range. It is noted that in the application of boundary layer ingestion the realization of the potential gains and the engineering of the installation would be easier with an aft fan rather than a front fan engine.
