And make lighter (not smaller) layups of the same aircraft they have now for EDFs.
Another great idea although with the power the EDF's from BVM, Tam, DS-94 HDT, the Dyn-E-Max, Stumax etc are producing most of the big jets could be airborne with twin EDF units. BVM's top ones are 21# plus as is Schuebler. There is a 140 mm fan that produces 28# static thrust.

two of those could get anything in the air.
