Over on the Tech Forum the question has been asked "why the tailpipes angled down".
http://www.pprune.org/tech-log/59085...-down-why.html
Thought this would be the best place to gain insight. Realise all designs are a result of compromises, but was there any overriding consideration. Pitching moment, structural reasons etc?
Did it reflect in the aircraft handling in any respect?
Thanks Folks.
