A double-deck airplane that facilitates passenger embarking/disembarking and cargo loading/unloading operations in order to maximize the number of flight missions carried out in a given time. The floors of its upper and lower decks are planar surfaces extending continuously inside the fuselage in at least the inner space of the fuselage intended for the payload; the lower deck is located at a height from the ground that allows carrying out passenger embarking/disembarking via equipment incorporated in the airplane without any external airport ground equipment; passenger and/or cargo compartments are distributed on the upper and/or lower decks; and the lifting structure is disposed in the airplane in a manner that none of its components crosses the upper and lower decks.

Double-deck airplane

Aircraft horizontal stabilizer surface () in which the sweep angle () of this surface (), where this angle () is the one formed by the projection of the reference line of points located at 25% of the local chord () of the horizontal stabilizer surface () on a plane perpendicular to the aircraft plane of symmetry (), and which also contains this plane to the flight direction of the aircraft with respect to the aircraft plane of symmetry (), is less than 90 degrees, with this angle () being measured in the flight direction of the aircraft. In addition, the structural connection of this horizontal stabilizer surface () to the aircraft fuselage () is located at a closing frame () of this fuselage ().

The invention relates to a configuration of engines () for aircraft located in the rear part of the fuselage () of said aircraft, the engines () being attached in a fixed manner by pylons () to the structure of the aircraft, said structure comprising a torsion box () which traverses the fuselage () and is used to attach the pylons (), the fuselage () comprising an opening () allowing the passage of the suspension pylons () for the engines (), said configuration further comprising a pivoting area (), an actuator () and a fitting () through which the actuator () is attached to the suspension pylons () and to the torsion box () of the aircraft, such that the assembly formed by the actuator () and the fitting () allow balancing the pylon () and engine () assembly of the aircraft through the pivoting area (), thus achieving controllable and optimal thrust vectoring of the aircraft for each flight phase.
