Question

why is it better for the turbines on a jet to sit under the wing rather than over it?

In: Engineering

Answer 1

My guess would be easier to maintain below and also, lift works from the top of the wing, so having an engine sit on top of the wing would reduce amount of air traveling over the surface area of the top of the wing, reducing lift.
