This topic is going to be on engine pylons or mounts. This will look at the development of them over the years. I will look at Boeing's.
On the 707 you can see that the pylon goes right to the outlet. This is one of the first attempts at mounting engines below the wing.

On the 737, you can see that the engine is almost handing way out front. You can see the difference from the above 707 design.

On the 767, you can see that is resembles the 737. It does appear that there are different designs for pylons depending on the type of engine, as you can see in the two pictures.

On the 747 you can see that the pylon doesn't "reach" to the front of the engine. It's very blunt and angular

In this picture you can see the heft of the pylons. Big engine, big pylon

On the 777, you can see a very different pylon design from previous models. It more resembles the 737. It is very long and thin, with an almost upward trend.
