Regarding this question, I'm not sure what should be the correct title. This is what I've thought to be closest to the true intent of OP: What design aspects are required for an aircraft to use reverse thrusters? But this is not accurate either.

@Farhan the MS Paint indicated I was kidding. Though that befits my mad artistic skillz
@Farhan I'm not entirely sure what he is asking...

@Farhan I believe the OP is mainly asking why power pushback is still in use?
i.e. why is it not completely faded out

@kevin I read it as "IS powerback still in use?"

Yes, but then he talks about engines being on wings vs fuselage.
This is turning the question into a design-related discussion.

Hmmm...perhaps he means are they still in use in newer aircrafts? If not, is their design a contributing factor?

Should we gasp! ask him to clarify? Or might that just open a whole new can 'o worms?
