ABSTRACT:
An aircraft engine is mounted above and spaced apart from the upper side of a wing by means of a supplemental wing being above and ahead of the main wing. Particular parameters for this mounting arrangement are given so that the jet clears the upper wing surface but accelerates the flow there above. The omission of a pylon on the wing is another drag reducing feature.
