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.
