Kenyon explains how university team built a device that promises to expose such engine incompatibilities and save scarce research dollars in the process. NASA is researching designs for next-generation commercial aircraft through its Environmentally Responsible Aviation program, but there's a catch: Some of the engineering models require inlets that are bent to match the shape of the plane's wing or fuselage. Others are recessed into the fuselage or mounted above the aircraft's wings. These engine and body configurations could improve fuel economy and reduce engine noise, but they come with a price.
