podded engine

In addition, he is credited with the incorporation of the podded engine concept on the B-47.

Many military transport aircraft, bombers, and tankers use podded engines.

Some jet fighters use podded engines, typically under and mounted directly to the wing.

There are reports of a follow-on design, the V-1001, which would used under-wing podded engines instead.

A podded engine hanging low from a wing is more likely to suffer from foreign object damage.

The aircraft had a large wing, clipped, with two separate podded engines and a twin tail.

Developed as Boeing's first jet airliner, the 707 is a swept-wing design with podded engines.

Stealthy designs do not use podded engines.

Podded engines can increase drag.

This may have been helped by the presence of the podded engines, whose vertical mountings acted as barriers to span wise flow.

A podded engine is a jet engine in a pod, typically attached below the wing or to the tail of the aircraft.

The pairs of podded engines are mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage below the swept 'T' tail unit.

Though the early Lockheed Jetstar had four, most production business jets have two jet engines, mostly rear-mounted podded engine.

The first has a podded engine mounted beneath, or occasionally above or within, each wing (standard narrow-body and wide-body airliners).

Smaller jet airplanes like the Cessna Citation are generally not suited to podded engines below the wing because they would be too close to the ground.

Podded engines...

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.

In a ditching or water landing, podded engines hanging from the wing increase the stress on the wing by increasing the amount of drag caused by the water.

Boeing stated that podded engines were selected for their passenger airliners because buried engines carried a higher risk of catastrophic wing failure in the event of engine fire.

Although such events seldom happen to modern jet engines, this possibility helps explain why podded engines are commonly used on commercial and general aviation aircraft that may carry fare-paying passengers.

The Leopard was a mid-wing cantilever monoplane of composite construction with all-swept flying surfaces and jet fighter-like styling other than the podded engines on either side of the aft fuselage.

Instead, in these cases it is common to mount two (or occasionally four) podded engines located at the rear of the fuselage, where they are less likely to be damaged by ingesting foreign objects from the ground.

Chief designer Bishop chose the Comet's embedded-engine configuration because it avoided the drag of podded engines and allowed for a smaller fin and rudder, since the hazards of asymmetric thrust were reduced.

Ilyushin therefore had to stress that it had first in the world used podded engines suspended from pylons beneath and ahead of the wing, on the experimental Ilyushin Il-22 four-engined jet bomber of 1946 (first use of this designation).

Over supper in a Paris restaurant, the Soviet side ceded information on titanium technology to the Americans, while the latter, "sketching on the tablecloth," ceded information on pylon-mounted podded engines and "the structural and aerodynamic amity of the aeroelastic wing."
