The paper presents a design optimization framework for a multi-fuel singel-aisle passenger aircraft with boundary layer ingestion propulsion, combining highly efficient ultra-high bypass ratio turbofan burning sustainable aviation fuels or H2, with a hydrogen fuel cell auxiliary propulsion and power unit driving a tail BLI fan, in order to minimize the pollutant emissions over the entire mission.
