This research aims to quantify the interference drag for various engine locations on a traditional “tube and wing,” 150-passenger commercial aircraft flying at 35,000 ft and Mach 0.8. Engine locations are varied in the chord wise, span wise, and vertical directions near the wing, both under and above the wing, as well as along the fuselage. Euler simulations are performed with representative powered modern engines. The results are intended to supplement empirical drag estimates suitable for multidisciplinary design environments. Large interference drag increases, as compared to the isolated air frame and engine geometry, are found to occur when the engine is placed directly above or below the wing. Interference effects are significantly reduced, and in some instances result in benefits compared to the isolated bodies, when the engines are placed fore or aft of the wing. Interference drag increases are partially explained by flow channels leading to choked flow and shock interactions between bodies.
