At LHR tonight, and seen the Arik A345 taxi by. It may have been an optical illusion, but the two inboard engines seem to be canted slightly forward in comparison to the outboard engines. Checked a few pics on the web, and the same effect appears to be present. Am I seeing thngs or is this correct? Does this correct in flightbas the wing lifts?
My, you have good eyesight
Not sure exactly what you mean by 'canted forward' but the inboard engines are about 1.5 degrees nose down relative to the outboards when on the ground. In flight the wing twist (which goes with the bending) brings them into line.
