Extract

The advent of a new generation of turbojet powered transport aircraft with engines mounted on the rear fuselage has complicated the task of the aerodynamicist, particularly when an attempt is made to determine the individual contributions to the stability and aerodynamic loading of the aircraft. This paper gives some idea of the additional complexity which is directly attributable to the presence of these engine nacelles and their effects on manoeuvring tail loads. Where rational methods are available for determining these effects they are referred to or included.
