Hi Henry,

Yes, the MP would probably add a very steamlined "leading edge" to the clarinet. Also, the trailing shape of the bell might actually improve the airplane's fuel econony. I do not say this in jest.

This story is according to a friend at Boeing. It was discovered on the MD 80 series of airplanes that the identation in the side of the empannage to accomadate the possible addition of the unducted fan engines (those that were going to be jets but have propellors attached - aka Cuisinart engines) actually increased the fuel efficiency of the turbo engines without blades. That's why the indentations became a part of the empannage on all production MD 80s; I have not looked at the MD 90s closely enough to see if the same holds true but I suspect so.
