An unducted fan UHB-270. Looks alot like a DC-10, right? This early concept was proposed by McDonnell Douglas in the early 1980s. The goal was to achieve significantly improved efficiency over the CF-6 engines of the day. The challenge with the UHB engines was they were very loud and had some vibration issues. Although development of the engine type was eventually cancelled, the concept eventually paved the way for ultra-efficient engines like the GE-90, albeit with a cowling surrounding the fans.
