Why did this engine mount technique ended?
Aerodynamically it's much better, was it ease of maintenance?

>>33204319
We had this thread a few days ago. Easier maintenance and if you have a catastrophic engine failure it doesn't rip the wing off as well

>>33204339
>engine failure it doesn't rip the wing off as well
Ah, that makes even more sense.

this is false. at high speeds (Mach 0.5 - Mach 1) mounting engines under the wing reduces drag, and doesn't in fact increase it.
it's why boeing and all the other passenger jets do it, and not just "because it makes maintenance easier".

That's high bypass engines, low bypass engines like the RR Spey can be in the fuselage or wing without issue, look at pretty much all modern fighter aircraft.

They fly at high altitude, not low altitude like Nimrod was designed to.

The Sea Vixen was a piece of shit. Slow. Shit radar. Shit missiles. Dangerous. It killed many good pilots.

The Lightning was fast and manoeuvrable but had only 2 shit missiles and no loiter capability.

Both aircraft would have been worse than useless in the event of a hot war. Their US and French contemporaries were much, much better.

You don't know what you are talking about. Fuck off, kiddo.

>Shit radar. Shit missile

By what standards? they were fully the equal of their competitors at the time of introduction. Red Top was far superior to AIM-9B

And in the 60's just having a radar was good enough. F-11 Tiger had no radar.

>The Lightning was fast and manoeuvrable but had only 2 shit missiles and no loiter capability.

You don't seem to have any idea how point defence aircraft work. They get scrambled when the enemy appears on radar, they climb quickly, fire their weapons and land to do it again. at no point in that mission is loiter a requirement.

>Fuck off, kiddo.

The true mark on an autist getting upset on the internet. Nothing personnel.

There is more to it than that

Mounting the engines in the root requires intake and exhaust ducts, which give you duct losses and reduce the thrust of the engines.

They also require o sections or cutouts in the spar, which reduce strength and thus require a stronger and heavier spar to compensate.

One of the key advantages of podded engines is that they are hung off below the wing, which when designed right can counter the twisting effect on the wing at higher speed. This allows you to make the wing thinner and lighter and this is one of the biggest reasons that podded engines are now the defacto standard in pax aircraft.

Additionally you can get an effect like a fence if you design the pylon correct and a blown flaps effect if you want it too.

When you take all of these things together podded engines are superior. Add to that the maintenance and possible safety issues and its a no brainer.

Its because the nimrod was essentially a comet.

Thicker wing increases the critical mach of the airfoil. The faster the air is required to be moved across the wing, the more stress the airframe is put under. The DeHaviland Comet is a famous example of an aircraft with embedded engines that (due to a combination of other factors) suffered catastrophic hull losses from this effect.

It's like something out of Metal Slug.

>>33205654
Pretty much all modern figher aircraft have their engines in the fuselage, not the wing.
