CIRRUS ROLLS OUT 'THE JET'

: There's so much I don't know about airplane design, but don't recall ever seeing structure so close to the exhaust plume of a jet engine before. I'd have guessed having thrust be in line with the center of gravity would have been a design goal, but they know more about design than I ever will. Never the less, what a beautiful airplane that is. Do they take American Express? IIRC, some of the very early jets--especially German--were built exactly this way. Like the Salamander you mean? It wasn't anywhere near as close to structure, but in any case it's not all that much of a problem temp wise if that's what was meant. It should have an added advantage in being unlikely to injest foreign matter from the ground or thrown by the tires; but early rotation has been an issue on various jets in the past. How do you mean?
