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.


The L-1011 may have looked "right", but I imagine the arrangement on
the DC 10 was
more efficient. Didn't have to go bending the airflow this way and that
just to get it to the
engine.
