ABSTRACT:
An aircraft construction includes a fuselage, a first engine mounted on an axis extending through the fuselage for pulling the aircraft, and a second engine vertically offset from the first engine and mounted on an axis extending through the fuselage for pushing the aircraft. A main wing is disposed generally in a first plane and a tail wing is disposed generally in a second plane. A Canard wing may be disposed in a third plane different than the first plane and the second plane. Vertical stabilizers positioned to extend downwardly from the tail wing support drag wheels to protect the second engine during takeoff.
