underslung
Suspended from below
Underslung describes something mounted or positioned below another structure.
An underslung jaw juts forward, with the lower jaw projecting beyond the upper.
In vehicles and machinery, underslung refers to components hung beneath the main frame: an underslung chassis, underslung weapons on an aircraft.
The word suggests a low-slung, often aggressive profile.
