The overwing podded engines were expected to generate 6,400 pounds-force (28 kN) ... The Embraer ERJ family is a series of twin-engine jet-powered regional jets.
Rear view of a Vickers VC10, showing its four podded engines mounted on the rear fuselage. The four podded engines can also be attached to the rear fuselage, necessitating a T-tail. [3] This reduces cabin noise and frees up more space on the wings for high-lift devices and fuel storage. The airflow over the wings is also undisturbed due to the ...
Boeing felt it had mastered the swept wing and podded engines which it saw as key technologies that would enable it to improve on the Comet. The Boeing 367-80 during its roll-out in May 1954. In 1950, Boeing tentatively produced a specification for a jet airliner dubbed the Model 473-60C. [1]
