For the big boys, the DC-10/MD-11 Engine #2 really looked like a wart
compared to the L-1011 configuration.


The rear engine on the DC-10 looked like an afterthought. Of course, if
they had made it look "right", like Lockheed did, it couldn't have become
the KC-10.

I'm not sure that would have been the case. The 727 similar S-ducted
center
engine and still has room for rear airstairs.
