Low-noise aircraft, particularly at take-off and landing
View Patent ↗An aircraft includes a rear vertical tail unit having two tail fins forming, with the rear part of a fuselage, a channel on the back of the fuselage. A turbine engine is arranged on the back of the fuselage so that gas streams generated by the turbine engine penetrate into the channel. The main landing gear of the aircraft is arranged integrally beneath the fuselage. The wings of the aircraft have a slight sweep angle and a large fineness ratio.
1. A low noise commercial civil aircraft comprising:
a fuselage;
two swept-back wings arranged laterally with respect to said fuselage of said low noise commercial civil aircraft, the swept-back angle of said swept-back wings being at most equal to 10° and said swept-back wings having a light aspect ratio of 10 or greater, said swept-back wings carrying no engines and further carrying no landing gear;
a rear vertical tail section comprising at least two fins and forming, with a rear portion of said aircraft, a channel arranged on the back thereof;
a turbine unit comprising at least one turbine engine and arranged on a back of said fuselage and at least partially over said rear vertical tail section, such that gas streams generated by said at least one turbine engine enter said channel; and
a main landing gear entirely arranged below said fuselage.
2. The low noise commercial civil aircraft of claim 1 , wherein the at least two fins are located on distal ends of the rear tail section.
