About
A short-haul jet with its engines mounted on pylons ABOVE the wing — done to keep them clear of debris on rough strips without lengthening the undercarriage. Nineteen were built; the layout has almost never been repeated. No type certificate for it is reachable — the FAA's regulatory system is closed to us and EASA never held the type — so this entry carries its history but none of the certified weights the rest of the library is built on.
