[QUOTE="Witch Hunt, post: 206050, member: 12507"] Okay, I am not an aeronautical engineer or a physicist. I am just another anonymous drunk asshole on the internet so what I am gonna say is from a bar stool kind of perspective. Be that as it may, let me take you back to WW2 and the height of aeronautical engineering. The Americans and Germans were locked in a deadly world-wide conflict and were using every trick in the book to gain the advantage. Every conceivable idea was developed to it's fullest potential. Fuel injection, flush-riveting and streamlining were all improvements either developed or improved due to the war effort. Another cool development? Rear engine design. Case in point... [IMG]https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.Dj90VAbHo12c-Rd5bWLgDwHaD5?pid=Api&rs=1[/IMG] Engineers on both sides tried this concept out because they thought along the lines you do, that airflow might be so different that It would improve performance. It didn't. There was no appreciable difference in performance at all. There was absolutely no change in airflow over the foils, wings and canopies. NONE. In short, once airflow comes over the wing, it is all the same. [/QUOTE]
