The power profile is usually 2/3 of the power consumption to lift the aircraft. Laminar boundary layer is a good track but she seems too fragile to withstand the turbulent atmosphere, the attack angle, etc. Should we assume that all is said? I wonder.
The suction of the boundary layer absorbs much less power that she can win. The interior of the blades are nice centrifugal pumps. With many small holes judiciously placed in the upper and another hole at the tip, it might be enough?
