    308 Chapter 3: The Design Revolution Document 3-15(a-e) 309 INTO THE NacELLE The problem becomes easiest when there are outboard engine nacelles, for the nacelle usually provides ample space for housing the gear and gives the proper tread with the wheels located under the concenetrated loads On a high wing monoplane design with engines in the leading edge, the landing gear must be very high Because of the great height it is almost impossible to take the side loads as a cantilever, and therefore the design must be complicated by side struts to the fuselage as on the General YO-27 (see illustration) where they remain out in the air-stream when the wheel is retracted In the new Dutch built Fokker F-XX a compromise apparently has been reached by retaining the high wing and lowering the engine nacelles below the wing so that a completely retractable gear can be obtained with no side struts to the fuselage, the nacelles carrying all the load Fokker seems to have decided that the slightly increased drag of the lowered nacelles did not offset the advantages of the high wing, with its inherently less drag and greater lift as well as its absence of buffeting and better passenger vision (see page 59 and references 3, 4 and 5) How- ever, some designers have reached a compromise in another fashion, locating the nacelle in the best position with reference to the landing gear and then lowering the wing to have the engine in the leading edge Examples of this are the new Martin bomber, the Boeing bomber and the new Boeing transport, and the new Douglas
