More Information
Summary:An aircraft (10) is provided including a fuselage (20) and an aft engine (200). The fuselage (20) defines a top side (202), a bottom side (204), and a frustum (206) located proximate an aft end (16) of the aircraft (10). The frustum (206) defines a top reference line (212) extending along the frustum (206) at a top side (202) of the fuselage (20), and a bottom reference line (214) extending along the frustum (206) at a bottom side (204) of the fuselage (20). The top and bottom reference lines (214,216) meet at a reference point (215) aft of the frustum (206). The fuselage (20) further defines a recessed portion (216) located aft of the frustum (206) and indented inwardly from the bottom reference line (214). The aft engine (200) includes a nacelle (224) extending adjacent to the recessed portion of the fuselage (20) such that the aft engine (200) may be included with the aircraft without interfering with, e.g., a takeoff angle of the aircraft (10).
