Present design philosophy of British Aircraft Corp and other aircraft manufacturers is to place engines of turbojet powered transport aircraft in group at rear of aircraft; main advantages of rear-engined layout are shown; paper examines aerodynamic effects on longitudinal trim and stability; aerodynamic cross-coupling that occurs between rear-mounted nacelles and other horizontal lifting surfaces of aircraft; method evolved for estimating lift curve slope of nacelles attached to side of body by means of stub wings with vertical plane of symmetry; effect on tail load and nacelle loads.
