✓ Improved starting reliability

✓ Tail cone extended 43 inches for streamlining
✓ Enabled the aft body vortex generators to be removed
✓ Gives overall reduction in fuel burn of 1%
✓ The eductor inlet has moved to the sight of the tail cone and the air in
door has been re-designed with the removal of the NACA duct and
vortex generator
✓ The inlet door is hinged at the aft end and opens outward into
airstream, in three position: Closed, Ground position (45deg) and
Flight position (17deg)
✓ Normal door transitions take 40 to 120 seconds between positions
✓ Can dispatch with the door locked in the flight position at a 1% fuel
burn penalty
