Patent ID: 7905449

Claim:
A multi-engine long-haul aircraft comprising at least two first turbofan engines and a third turbofan engine which is provided at a rear part of a fuselage of the multi-engine aircraft, the fuselage connected to rear tail sections each respectively comprising a horizontal tail section and a vertical tail section, said vertical tail section oriented parallel to a vertical longitudinal plane of symmetry of the fuselage, said rear tail sections defining a channel which is symmetrical with respect to said longitudinal plane of the fuselage, and said third turbofan engine being arranged in a plane of symmetry of said channel corresponding to said longitudinal plane and being mounted on an upper part of said fuselage in a raised manner and in front of said tail sections, so that an outlet of the third turbofan engine is situated at least partially in and extending forward of an inlet of said channel defined by said rear tail sections, wherein said two first turbofan engines are joined to fuselage wings respectively and symmetrically with respect to the vertical longitudinal plane of symmetry of said fuselage, said horizontal tail sections each comprise stabilizers, and said stabilizers of the horizontal tail section are slightly inclined symmetrically toward a rear section of said fuselage so as to form, when viewed in a horizontal plane perpendicular to said vertical longitudinal plane, an open V-shape comprising a center point corresponding to a section where said stabilizers connect to the rear part of said fuselage and having lateral branches which correspond to two fins of the vertical rear tail sections which are situated at distal ends of said stabilizers.
