Abstract
An aircraft has at least two jet-propulsion engines mounted laterally on the fuselage in a symmetrical design in the aft part of the fuselage. Each jet engine is mounted on the fuselage some distance from the vertical plane of symmetry of the aircraft, so that the jet engine, in a so-called half-buried configuration, is partly inside an envelope surface of a theoretical fuselage. The half-buried, jet engines are mounted on a main boom fitted on the vertical plane of symmetry of the aircraft, inside the fuselage in back, of a forward main frame. The tail sections are mounted on the main boom and the boom is integral with structures for transmitting forces into the forward part of the fuselage. The structure is advantageously made of fiber-reinforced composite materials.
