ABSTRACT:
An aircraft of the type having retractable landing gear and a pusher propeller is provided with a twin tail boom. The tail boom has a configuration to prevent the lowermost point of the pusher propeller from contacting a landing surface when landing the aircraft, even with the landing gear retracted, so that the engine of the aircraft is not damaged as a result of the pusher propeller being unable to rotate during the landing.
