engine installation
(OP)
Hi, http://www.eng-tips.com/threadminder.cfm?pid=31
Can someone explain why we install the engines on the upper part of the fuselage (is there is a problem of boundary layer, etc.)
Thanks

RE: engine installation
You link directed me to the overall forum group, not to a specific thread. It should end with a 6-digit reference number. "pid=31" is the Aerospace Eng Other Topics forum.
Not knowing what context you've seen or are asking about, I can't give you a specific answer other than a big generalization.
Props: It's unhealthy for them to strike the ground.
Jets: It's unhealthy for rocks to get in them.
If you can give a detailed explanation of why your asking (or just vague curiosity) then we can offer a more specific answer.

RE: engine installation
Some have the engines installed at the front of the fuselage (single recip engine and turboprop aircraft), some have the engines installed inside the fuselage (many military jet fighter aircraft), some have the engines installed under the wings (most commercial jet aircraft), some have the engines installed above and forward of the wings (twin piston engine and turboprop GA aircraft), and a few even have the engine installed in the lower rear section of the airframe (the MD500 helo).
