Abstract
An aircraft includes a fuselage extending between a forward end and an aft end. An aft engine is mounted to the aft end of the fuselage, the aft engine defining a centerline. The aft engine further includes a nacelle having a bottom section, the bottom section having a forward lip. The forward lip of the bottom section defines a camber line. The camber line, in turn, defines an angle relative to the centerline of the aft engine greater than or equal to at least about five degrees.
