Back to square one again…

“…and then I said when you press that button it realigns the engines with the intakes, hehehehehehehehehe…..”

…”Now, where were we?…before being so rudely interrupted by the 90s”

I am not the one who said ‘Goodbye’, YOU are.

Oh I forgot, not being able to let go is your dominant characteristic- like a stuck record.

Quite nice.

The nozzles are perfectly in-line with the topside cowls (which have a smaller circumference indicative of the size of the c-face). The bottom (larger) cowls have the nozzles offset…why? because the engine is canted within the bottom cowl itself.

In the other pic note the beautiful & DEEP curve on that MLG bay door…and guess where it feeds…

Only to those who want to see it that way. If in fact you know what you are actually looking at & take into account camera angle/POV even the view from above shows the inside edge of the engines (cowlings being a bit larger than the engines themselves) to be almost directly in line with the inside edge of the LEVCONs.

No, you can not even see the intakes from above! But when you look at it from beloe you can clearly see that the inside edge of the intakes are FURTHER in than the inside edge of the LEVCONs. The distorting effect from above is due to other (fuselage) structure breaking the circular shape of the cowling and the upper ‘cowling’ BOTH continuing the toe of the engines & no longer maintaining ‘full diameter’ ahead of the engine.

Look at the pics above, you want the engines to be like the T-10M-10 when that’s clearly not the case. Of course you can’t see the intakes from above- use the LEVCON root as a reference point…

You haven’t mentioned that ‘oval‘ shape in the intake visible in at least 2 pics- doesn’t it fit in with your rabidly absurd arguments?…but I guess clutching a photoshop of a photoshop negates all our reasoning, huh?

Maybe not having slept in 20 years has had an understandably detrimental effect on your judgement, perception of reality & quite possibly your sanity, nevertheless you’re setting yourself up for (another) huge fall, buddy.

Goodbye.

That’s the whole point MSphere, why we’ve been scratching our heads all this time. Viewed from underneath, the engines are canted inside the cowlings (look at the nozzle cant on medal’s pic above), the cowling is straight only for aerodynamic continuity. Viewed from above gives the actual configuration/alignment of the engine.

The top & bottom cowlings themselves are not one complete structure- they are two distinctive ones, the bottom one is not a semi-circle. Any clearer? see below (in yellow):

I agree with paralay’s bottom rendition, but imho, the c-face is mounted higher than the top rendition.
