Smile Rear Mounted Engines

Just to add ON:

rear mounted engines also mean cleaner wings , that means they generate more lift.

Less load on the wings mean , the wings have lesser mounted load and hence they are lighter due to simple construction.

Quieter cabins.

Lower Vmca due to reduced asymmetry.
