Has anyone seen the data on a contra prop fitted Boeing 737-800 biz jet?

apparently it resulted in an 8%-20% improvement in the reduction of fuel burn.

It also resulted (natch) in an extended range.

I have some basic data generated by the American Inst of Aeronautics and Astronautics but am curious as to whether any mainstream pubs ran their own assessments or if anyone is familiar with the project.
