The UDF was the subject of a discussion (http://pprune.org/forums/showthread....threadid=10357) last year, and I think the final verdict was that it was too noisy, especially at some frequencies and although more fuel efficient was not significantly so to warrant development. There were also perceived problems with blade failure, as such would of course be uncontained.
