Aircraft Having an Aft Engine

An aircraft defining a longitudinal direction, a vertical direction, and a lateral direction, the aircraft comprising:

• a fuselage extending between a forward end and an aft end along the longitudinal direction, the fuselage defining a surface;
• a boundary layer ingestion fan mounted to the fuselage at the aft end of the fuselage, the boundary layer ingestion fan defining a centerline and comprising a plurality of fan blades rotatable about the centerline and a nacelle surrounding the plurality of fan blades;
• and
• a stabilizer attached to the fuselage and extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge,
• wherein the surface of the fuselage defines:
• a first point located in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and positioned where the leading edge of the stabilizer meets the fuselage;
• a second point located in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and positioned where the trailing edge of the stabilizer meets the fuselage;
• an inflection point;
• a first portion of the surface, the first portion extending between the first point and the inflection point, the first portion being convex;
• and
• a second portion of the surface, the second portion extending between the inflection point and the second point, the second portion being concave.
