If the engines were mounted above the wings and thrust line then they would need to be tilted up. If they are in the thrust line like a Comet then neutral thrust line and if like most airliners when mounted below thrust line then down tilt needed as if they were not tilted there would be a big upward tilt on thrust being applied. Typed after lots of wine beer and sake so seems factually correct right now.
