Profitable short-range and through-stop operations require excellent short runway performance; empty weight, balance, stall characteristics, and systems advantages of wing-mounted engines dictated engine location; wing-nacelle geometry relationship was major consideration in deciding to mount nacelles so close to wing; high-speed cruise at low altitude required minimum wing span and area and maximum sweep; thus inherent takeoff performance limitations of twin-engine airplane required flap system efficiency and increased flap size.
