Abstract
An aircraft for transporting passengers is provided having a raised and rearward positioned cockpit. The aircraft preferably has an elongate main body including a passenger compartment positioned in a forward end of the main body and a passenger window extending across the forward end of the main body for forward viewing by passengers positioned in the passenger compartment. The passenger window preferably extends substantially the entire height of the passenger compartment of the main body, the entire lateral extent of the forward end of the passenger compartment of the main body, and into forward side peripheries of the passenger compartment of the main body to thereby define a panoramic-type viewing window for passengers positioned in the forward end portion of the main body. A plurality of wings are connected to and extend outwardly from the main body. A tail is connected to a rearward end of the main body. A crew cockpit is connected to and positioned to overlie a rearward portion of the main body adjacent the tail and extending upwardly from the main body at a higher elevation than the passenger compartment so as to define a raised crew cockpit for improving overall vision of the operating crew during operation of the aircraft.
