An awesome concept introduced in early 80's. most fuel efficient and best performing engine! should be brought into production. technology has changed since 82, just think of the overall performance now.
Thanks for adding this video. I was there and now I can direct people to this moving and audible image. I always say, it was no louder than a small helicopter.
@10Kingboy10 you must be retarded. This shit was killed by efficient high bypass turbofans, strict noise regulations and reasonable fuel prices. Unless you live in 1988 while the rest of us are in 2011.
Revive the UDF in a model aircraft!!!

@84Dirtboy GE incorporated a lot of the technology from the unducted fan designs into their GEnx engines.

You don't have a clue. This is what GE Aviation is planning for some of their future engines.
