We don't need research in airframes if it's a propulsion problem. First we have to get the unducted fan techology, then we can go on with delopping the aircraft.

So far, unducted fan didn't work, and there wasn't enough positive feelings from the customers.

But, there are promising projects in the pipeline. So let's wait and see.
