Abstract
An aircraft having a propeller engine mounted at the rear of the aircraft, on the back thereof, such that the axis of the engine is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The aircraft has a cell, the rear part of which comprises a horizontal empennage and two vertical empennages, positioned one at each end of said horizontal empennage. The propeller is positioned vertically in line with the rear part of the cell, and the rear part of the cell forms a lateral and downward barrier, on each side of a plane of the propeller, that screens an acoustic intensity equal to approximately−5 dB with respect to a maximum acoustic intensity emitted by the engine.
