Thanks for the inputs. However my query remains. Is there no convention on where the thrust line should lie ? My understanding is that below the CG it will produce a pitch up on opening thrust. So what is the rationale of design if different aircraft have different "natural " feel ? Taking the examples quoted by the posters above,an MD 11 in raw data conditions would behave quite opposite to say an A330. Is that not strange ? Thanks
