ABSTRACT:
A jet aircraft has a generally conical front fuselage section, a cylindrical intermediate fuselage section defining a passenger compartment and a generally conical aft fuselage section having a maximum lateral dimension substantially smaller than the maximum lateral dimension of the intermediate fuselage section. The aircraft's propulsion engines are mounted on combination vertical and horizontal stabilizers in spaced relation to the conical aft fuselage section with the air inlets and exhaust nozzles thereof disposed entirely within a rearward projection of the lateral cross section of the intermediate fuselage section to preclude the ingestion of foreign objects thereinto and maximize efficiency of boundary layer air flow.
