ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine is installed near to the center of gravity of an aircraft and has a power output shaft which is arranged to be inclined with respect to the aircraft longitudinal axis, in the direction of a high empennage of the aircraft. An extension shaft follows coaxially from the engine power output shaft, which extension shaft is connected to a propeller shaft by a single reorientation transmission or gear box. The gear box is designed as a miter gear box. A pusher propeller is arranged at the rear end of the empennage. Instead of a miter gear box, a constant speed universal joint can also be utilized.
