The podded engine is a complete powerplant, or propulsion system, and is usually attached below the wing on large aircraft like commercial airliners or to the rear fuselage on smaller aircraft such as business jets.
Engines in nacelles on a Boeing 707. A nacelle (/ n ə ˈ s ɛ l / nə-SEL) is a streamlined container for aircraft parts such as engines, fuel or equipment. [1] When attached entirely outside the airframe, it is sometimes called a pod, in which case it is attached with a pylon or strut and the engine is known as a podded engine. [2]
The supersonic airliner Concorde had its engines mounted in rectangular pods conformal to the underside of the wing, without any pylons. The omission of pylons reduces drag and eliminates the risk of them being overstressed. [5] Rear view of a Vickers VC10, showing its four podded engines mounted on the rear fuselage
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]
Rear view of the aircraft's overwing podded engine configuration Showing the nearly straight wing. The HondaJet is a low-wing monoplane that uses a composite fuselage and an aluminum wing. [68] [69] It belongs to the very light jet category. [70]
The McDonnell 119/220 is a business jet developed and unsuccessfully marketed by McDonnell Aircraft in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Its configuration is unique for this type of aircraft, with four podded engines underneath a low wing.
The Federal Aviation Administration said it's investigating the incident on the Boeing 737-800 on Sunday morning.
They differed primarily in engine layout; the NAA design arranged its six engines in a semi-circular duct under the rear fuselage, while the Boeing design used separate podded engines located individually on pylons below the wing, [17] like the Hustler. NAA's final WS-110A proposal, built as the XB-70
