Patent attributes
A large-capacity airplane principally includes a fuselage which has no region of constant width between the front and the rear and a wing fixed to the fuselage. As a preference, the engines are fixed at the rear under a horizontal tail held above the fuselage by vertical stabilizers and maintenance wells are formed in the fuselage in vertical alignment with each engine to allow the engines to be fitted and removed. The width of the fuselage is determined, on the one hand, so that the airplane landing gear is fixed to the fuselage and in the up position is included within the interior volume of the fuselage and, on the other hand, so that the rear engines are above the fuselage in order to make use of the beneficial effects of this position.
