E-jets and most business jets have tail mounted engines. the reason is mission. tail mounted engines let you have short landing gear and less chance of FOD damage on crappy airstrips. this lets you load pax and cargo with out needing extra equipment. even with under wing engines if you look at the 737 vs A320. the original 737 used turbo jets so they could keep the gear as short as possible when they change it to the CFM's they had relocate the some of the pumps and you ended up with the hamster pouch nacelles to keep the low gear. Airbus when they built the A320 years later airport infrastructure had improved a ton so they just keep the gear taller.

The reason depends on your "mission" . Underwing engines let you have bigger more efficient engines. This also make maintenance easier. The down side is you need long landing gear and they could suck stuff in when on the ground. This puts the aircraft body higher off the ground so you need extra stuff to get people and cargo in and out. So if you need your aircraft to be low to the ground or take off from dirt or grass you have to mount your engines up high. This why lot smaller jets have the engines mounted up on the tail. Down side is this also limits how big they can be, but now your aircraft can sit lower to the ground and not need things like a jet-bridge or extra equipment to load cargo.

Something to note is when you look at aircraft like the older 737 and A320. Boeing wanted to make the 737 as low to the ground as they could wile keeping under wing engines. This is why they have that odd pouch shape. Airbus just keep the landing gear longer. 737 was designed with the idea that could go in airports that might not have the gear to load cargo in to a taller aircraft. Also the newer regional jet tend to have engines back on the tail. same thing they need to be go in to airports with out jet-bridges.

only if they have keyed entery turns out they ALL NA Hyundai and Kia's use roughly the same keying with no chip so they can be started with just shoving something in the ignition.

if you have keyless your car is fine

reason for this is in NA plants the cars are built with keyless as the default so they they have custom build cars with key ignition for the US soo they just used the same key sets for all of them

that date makes even more insane really. like you said said mustard doesnt really go bad. so that means these have been sitting since 2021 or so as it normally has about 1 to 2 year shelf life
