Manufacturers angling engines to reduce VMCG"

For the Citation Sovereign.

"The engine tailpipes are angled out 4 deg. to reduce asymmetric thrust and minimum control speed. This results in lower contaminated-runway takeoff field lengths, especially a low takeoff weights."

I thought angled inward would be do this but I guess outward is what works.
