Rear-Mounted vs Wing-Mounted engined planes, which do you prefer?
Hello I'm new and I was wondering from a: pilots, engineer,.. which most preferred and why:
a) Rear-Mounted engined planes (Like the DC-9 family)
or
b) Wing-Mounted engined planes (Like the A320 family)
I've heard that some pilots prefer the Rear-Mounted's ones more because they (the engines) have less chance of ingesting something from the runway on take-off or landing, is that true?
