abstract = "A shift in aircraft design paradigm is motivated by taking synergy effects of the airframe and propulsion system integration into account. A source of power saving not utilized in contemporary aircraft lies in the ingestion of the airframe-borne boundary layer by the propulsion system. A particularly beneficial arrangement has been identified in the architecture of the so-called Propulsive Fuselage, realized by a large fan rotating around the aft fuselage. A newly developed quasi-analytical aerodynamic method has been verified and compared to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) results. It has demonstrated reasonable results compared to CFD calculations for a configuration like the Propulsive Fuselage. In order to increase applicability of the quasi-analytical methods in exploring the design space, the implementation of other propulsor configurations is necessary. This includes ducted fans and two-stage configurations, i.e. counter-rotating propellers and ducted counter-rotating fans.",
