Abstract
An aircraft comprising a fuselage extending along a longitudinal axis between a fore section and an aft section, wings mounted to the fuselage, a tail unit mounted to the aft section of the fuselage, and a first propulsion unit and a second propulsion unit both mounted to the aft section of the fuselage in such a way that a first axis of rotation of the first propulsion unit and a second axis of rotation of the second propulsion unit both extend in a vertical center plane spanned by the longitudinal axis and a yaw axis. The provided centerline mounted double-engine aircraft allows for a simple manufacture, maintenance and retrofit of the engines, in that the first propulsion unit and/or the second propulsion unit are arranged outside the fuselage.
