I have just been wondering if there is a practical limit to how far back the engine is on a pusher design?

Other than structural, not to mention the extra weight, what concerns would there be? The stability numbers look good in XFLR5, by the way.

This is what I am talking about, with the engine at the rear.

Length of the pod here is about 15 feet.
