No real difference.
The wing location is all about the CG of the aircraft. When you mount two big heavy JT8’s on the back of the fuselage (DC9/MD80) or three (727), the wing has to be located further aft. The center of lift and the CG need to be as close as possible.
It doesn’t really make that big a difference in landing characteristics.
Sure, they have different landing characteristics, but they are not so much related to engine placement.
What does make a difference in flight characteristics is “Conventional Tail” vs. “T-Tail”.
But if we get into that right now, we’ll be here all night.
John flew the kids to Grandmas. Shelby is on her way over from her hangar and we have a “Girls Night Out” date at Billy Bob’s !!
So the airplane stuff will have to wait. Sorry Love –
Cheers!!
