  21. The tail engine on the DC-10 (and MD-11) is also pitched, quite likely for the
  22. same reason(s) as the DC-9.  That has me wondering about the L-1011; the engine
  23. is mounted inside the fuselage, so it is difficult to tell if it is pitched
  24. from horizontal.  Does anyone know if it is?  And, if it isn't, why would the
  25. L-1011 NOT have the pitched rear engine while the DC-9, DC-10, MD-11, and 727
  26. all have it?  And, speaking of the 727, does anyone know if its center engine
  27. is pitched?
