A major factor for improving engine fuel consumption has been the increase of bypass ratio. However, this has significant impact on engine dimensions and weight, and installation of the engine on the airframe. This article investigates the performance impact of installation penalties from an increase in bypass ratio on narrow body aircraft, specifically the fuel consumption, weight and stability.
