Compound helicopter with lateral booms

A compound helicopter comprising:

• a fuselage that extends in a longitudinal direction from a front fuselage section through a center fuselage section and a rear fuselage section to a rear fuselage end, and in a vertical direction from a lower fuselage section to an upper fuselage section;
• a main rotor that is arranged at the upper fuselage section and at least adapted for generating lift in operation, the main rotor comprising at least two rotor blades that form a main rotor disc during rotation of the main rotor;
• at least two cantilever wings that are completely arranged within the main rotor disc and attached to the rear fuselage section, wherein a first cantilever wing of the at least two cantilever wings laterally extends from the fuselage at a port side, and a second cantilever wing of the at least two cantilever wings laterally extends from the fuselage at a starboard side;
• a first lateral boom that is connected to the first cantilever wing, and a second lateral boom that is connected to the second cantilever wing, the first and second lateral booms extending rearwardly beyond the rear fuselage end in the longitudinal direction, and
• a pusher propeller that is arranged within the main rotor disc between the first and second lateral booms, attached to the rear fuselage end, and at least adapted for generating forward thrust in operation.
