    The APUs on aircraft such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 can be seen at the extreme rear of the aircraft. This is the typical location for an APU on most commercial airliners although some may be within the wing root ( Boeing 727 ) or the aft fuselage ( DC-9 / MD80 ) as examples and some military transports carry their APUs in one of the ...
