The article also mentions CFM is working on an open rotor design with a 4.27m diameter fan envelope. Where would you place a 4.27m diameter fan on an aircraft?

Not on a 737 class narrow body, that fan is half a metre greater in diameter than a B737 fuselage.
It would likely be neat retrofit on the AN-22 or TU-95 replacing the 5.7 metre contra rotating turboshaft engines!

Airbus and Boeing have been studying alternative configurations for over a decade.
