ABSTRACT:
An aircraft with two aft mounted prop engines. The side surface portions at the rear portion of the fuselage adjacent to the propellers are contoured from a standard optimized configuration to alleviate adverse effects on the pressure distribution pattern on the surfaces adjacent to the propellers. This is accomplished by contouring the side surface portions at an inward and rearward slant in a forward region, while locating intermediate side surface regions more along a longitudinally aligned contour. The rear regions of the side surface portions slant rearwardly and inwardly to a closure location.
