Answer / vijai
No,If one of the engine fails during flight , the yawing
moment produced by the other engine is more

Answer / sumya
NO, Due to the following reasons
1. Usually Engine is very heavy, if it is put at the
cantilever wing tip, the weight/lever arm is more and
structurally it is not a feasible design.
2. Aerodynamic characteristics of the A/C and Engines are
broadly affected.
3. In case of Single engine failure, tendency to yaw and
roll.
4. Incase of Electrical fuel system malfunction, Providing
gravity fuel feed to the wingtip engines is complicated.

Answer / silambarasan.p
no.we cannot put the engine at wing tip.
because
*due to wing tip vortices the engine suck the air is
difficult
*at wing tip have smaller area than root so it cannot
sustain due to the weight of engine .so it will go damage
or bend

Answer / charlotte reynolds
no, because there will be no sustained stability.and the
wing cannot hold the engine load at the end of the
wing.hence the wing could be damaged.

Answer / vijay. m
obviously cannot, coz the area of the wing at the tip of
the wing is small, it cannot sustain the wait of engine and
it will affect the lift of the aircraft also.

Answer / thomas boreal
Already done. So technically, yes. Look at M-50
Reduces vortices. But not efficient. Reduces manoeuvrability
