Ok, for this bad boy I'll give you a choice. Either name the aircraft or it's zipcode. While on the ground, it's big enough to have one of it's own. ;)

Aaaaah could it be a YC-14. A STOL aircraft. I don't think I've ever seen one of these. Interesting view.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.
Edward Weston
A Boeing YC-14 I believe. This baby was a an experimental STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) Cargo plane with the engine blowing OVER the wing.Those things on the wings are basically the hinges/extenders for flaps which would extend changing the camber of the wing for high lift. The exhaust flow would 'stick' to the flaps and blow downward. (There is a name for this effect but I cannot remember).

The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking. - Brooks Anderson
A pair of Russels with a pair of correct answers! ...very well done.
I thought the flaps were most interesting and worthy or capture/presentation. Glad you liked the shot and was amazed that the answer was found so quickly.
The YC-14 introduced several new technologies and techniques in aircraft design, the most obvious of them is the positioning of the jet engines to exhaust over the top of the wing. This and specially designed flaps allow the jet thrust to provide additional lift giving the plane a very impressive short-field performance and allowing it to land at as little as 99 miles per hour.
*tosses a bag of C-Index points to you both* ..no need to share.
The jet engine efflux turning down over the trailing-edge flap creating a Coanda effect. Gotta love Wikipedia!
