Abstract
An aircraft with rear mounted engines, comprising a vertical tail plane and a horizontal tail plane, in which the engines are mounted on top of the horizontal tail plane, such that the horizontal tail plane comprises an inner fixed part attached to the fuselage of the aircraft, the inner fixed part comprising an elevator, and two outer movable parts, each one of the outer movable parts being located at each side end of the horizontal tail plane which is furthest away from the fuselage of the aircraft, such that both the inner fixed part and the outer movable parts are at least partially subjected to a flow coming from the engines when the engines are in use.
