Does this help?
Silhouettes of engine modules
Yes, thanks. Also liked the Vision of the Future on p13. Magnetic bearings... no more of that pesky oil; generator driven by windmilling fan... no more pesky shutdowns taking a bus off-line. Fuel, electricity, and thrust the only interfaces to the A/C... no control IF, or is it by radio? (or possibly by telephathy direct to pilot in degraded mode?) It's useful to see where the concerns lay, looking back 3 yrs. Prescient... and borne out by events.
