I'm not sure if I'm right on this, but I think that I would like to have all
that Mass(bulk & weight of the engine head) located on the centerline of
the aircraft.I think that all that off-center mass could produce some
unexpected and unwanted effects during snap type maneuvers(and probably others)
where radical changes in aircraft speed differentials might magnify the
off-center forces in a detrimental way causing exagerated pitch and roll
responces making control during certain maneuvers difficult to compensate for.
I don't have any empirical data to back any of this up, but it just doesn't
feel right to me. <br>
