OK, I'll bite.

Possibly a naiive question: All trijets that I have seen seem to have all three engines mounted along and on the tail. Are there any trijets with two wing-under-slung engines and then a third center-engine in the empennage?

Would the latter configuration not make sense for some technical or commercial reason?

Thanks! It becomes a dumb question now.
