ABSTRACT:
A jet aircraft has a generally cylindrical fuselage section defining a passenger compartment and a generally conical aft fuselage section having a maximum lateral dimension substantially smaller than the lateral dimension of the fuselage section. A propulsion engine is mounted on the vertical stabilizer of the fuselage and has an air inlet disposed entirely within a rearward projection of the fuselage passenger compartment to preclude the ingestion of foreign objects into the engine.
