Abstract
The aircraft includes a fuselage, an engine disposed in the fuselage, an exhaust outlet provided at a tail of the fuselage for discharging exhaust gas from the engine to the outside, and a cruise rotor positioned rearward of the exhaust outlet and generating horizontal thrust on the fuselage. The exhaust outlet and the cruise rotor do not overlap each other when viewed from the direction in which the exhaust gas is discharged.
Claims8
An aircraft comprising:
- a fuselage;
- an engine provided in the fuselage;
- an exhaust outlet provided at a tail part of the fuselage and configured to discharge exhaust gas from the engine to an outside of the fuselage;
- and
- a cruise rotor positioned rearward of the exhaust outlet of the fuselage and configured to generate thrust in a horizontal direction on the fuselage, wherein
- the exhaust outlet and the cruise rotor do not overlap each other when viewed from a direction in which the exhaust gas is discharged,
- an air discharge orifice configured to discharge air having a temperature lower than a temperature of the exhaust gas is arranged externally adjacent to the exhaust port at the tail part of the fuselage, and
- a part of the cruise rotor and the air discharge orifice overlap each other in a rear view of the fuselage.
