Talk:Aircraft engine position number

Configurations not yet covered
I don't know the answers to these, but several aircraft come to mind that aren't covered yet:

Cessna Skymaster/Dornier Do335 Pfeil (twin, push/pull)

Boeing B-52 - 8-engines (presumably straightforward)

Then there were aircraft with push/pull engines on each side, such as the Farman F.223 series and the Dornier Do X - 12 engines in 6 push/pull pairs.

And I'm not sure how this works with the Twin Mamba on the Fairey Gannet.

Also, should we discuss hovercraft here, such as the SR.N4?

That got me thinking about the Ekranoplan A-90 GEV, which had two lift jets in the fuselage and one thrust turboprop on the tail - would the crew treat the numbering as if it were like a 727?

 * All we need is refs that show the numbering and these can be added. Pilot Operating Handbooks might be the best refs for that. _ Ahunt (talk) 17:26, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
