revolutionary innovation for sustainable engines turboprop



blog.geaerospace.com/tag/revolutionary-innovation-for-sustainable-engines/

I hear that contra-rotating props are noisy, but this uses a[n apparently variable pitch] stationary stator behind the propellor to get 20% less fuel consumption and CO2 emmisions. Wouldn't that imply quieter than a single propellor?

So my question becomes -- If one had ab argumentum a P-51 Mustang, and retro-fitted this arrangement, would it make an exemplary pylon racer?
