Some of the mutual aircraft afterbody and engine nozzle interferences that can exist on aircraft complex aft-ends and on simplified twin-jet afterbodies are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on studies of twin-engine fuselage configurations with nozzles installed near the terminus of the afterbody where the interactions of the nozzle exhausts and external stream produce a complex flow-field environment. The magnitude of the aft-end problem for real aircraft configurations is illustrated, and some theoretical and empirical considerations of afterbody drag on simple bodies are treated. Many of the factors regarding airframe-installation effects on nozzle performance are discussed, as well as nozzle-installation effects on aircraft performance.
