I think under-wing podded engines would almost certainly detach as they are not designed for that degree of sideload, so that would leave only a fuselage-mounted or wing-root engined aircraft as a possibility.

However, my instinct is to say that I do not think such a manouevre would be either aerodynamically or structurally survivable in a conventional swept-wing jet transport.
