Pylon mounted wings superior?
At the worlds in 2010, Prof Boermans gave an interesting talk on wing-fuselage drag, suggesting that moving the wing to the top of the fuselage -- not shoulder, and not pylon -- could reduce drag. An article in gliding international followed up with some analysis from Jonkers suggesting they are going to implement the idea at some point soon. Not pylons, but higher mounted wings may be on their way.
