One of the examples given of airplanes not using podded engines was the DC-10, which does use podded engines. I replaced it with the F-16 Fighting Falcon, a fighter jet with an embedded engine.

On a related note, do half of the pictures in these boxes not show up for anyone else?--Raguleader 18:11, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The page said The first successful design to use podded engines was the Boeing 707. I have added the qualification commercial design as at least one military plane, the B-52, preceded the 707 and has podded engines. It would be nice to track down the first use of podded jet engines on any plane. Polpo 16:34, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Surely the Me-262 counts as having podded engines? -- RoySmith (talk) 16:42, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the Me-262 would be an excellent example to use, though I'm not sure if it's the FIRST model to use podded engines (I seem to recall some larger WWI biplanes that had the engines in pods between the wings, but I'm unfamiliar with the aircraft of that era).--Raguleader 21:36, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there were any WW-I biplanes with jet engines, podded or not :-) -- RoySmith (talk) 21:59, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

True, but by definition, a prop engine in a pod would be a podded engine. We'd have to re-word the article so that it's not specifically about jet engines though.--Raguleader 06:00, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose the Ford Trimotor would count as having podded prop engines (at least the outboard two). -- RoySmith (talk) 17:40, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
