ABSTRACT:
An airplane fuselage of a type having a concave bottom for providing more lift and control at low speeds and with two strut members extending along and on each side of the concave bottom for providing skids for the purpose of emergency landings. The two bottom strut members are connected at the forward end thereof but are spaced apart at the rear end thereof to prevent an aircraft from turning to one side or the other due to direct contact with the ground or a body of water. A top and central strut member is also provided on the fuselage. Relatively short wings are attached to the fuselage portion, all parts of which are located above the two lower strut members. The landing gear is located in the wing structure.
