I am currently doing research for a “white paper design” aircraft and I have always been interested in push pull aircraft as they seem to be rare and I wanted to see some challenges in making a very crude and college level aircraft. What I have been wondering is if aircraft in push pull configuration always use the same engine For both the pusher and the puller or is there a advantage in having it be offset where one engine does more of the “work then the other engine?
