Some time ago, prob 5-6 years, I read an article, again prob in Pro Pilot mag, about the feasibility of designing a corporate jet, with 2 engines providing centreline thrust. (one above the other).
The interesting point about this concept was that the engines were of dissimilar thrust, ie one large and one small.
The idea was to use both for takeoff/landing and then in the cruise shut one down (can't remember whether it was the large or the small).
If anybody remembers this article or can point me to a website, it would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
