Aircraft fuselage

An aircraft having an X-axis in alignment with the line of thrust of the aircraft, a Y-axis transverse to said X-axis, the Y-axis in parallel with the length of a single main wing, and a Z-axis transverse to a plane defined by said X and Y axes, the aircraft comprising:

• (a) a fuselage having Y-axis symmetry about said thrust line and substantially having X-axis symmetry about a line defined by the forward edge of said main wing;
• (b) said fuselage assembly further having a substantially conical nose, said nose having its root at the beginning of the pilot's cabin, said nose subtending a vertex in the range of about 15 to 25 degrees, and having an X-axis length to Z-axis base diameter ratio in the range of about two to three, the bottom profile of said fuselage assembly arcing downward from the prop of the aircraft to the middle of the pilot's cabin and, thereafter, arcing upward away from the pilot's cabin to the tip of the nose of the aircraft;
• (c) a single prop located at the extreme aft end of said fuselage, said prop generating the thrust of the aircraft;
• (d) said single main wing secured on top of the upper fuselage, the XY plane of said wing in alignment with the line of thrust of said aft-located prop;
• and
• (e) a tailfin system comprising three separate tailfins, a first of said fins directed downwardly in the negative Z direction and perpendicularly to the plane of said fixed wing;
• and second and third tailfins directed upwardly and disposed respectively symmetrically about the XZ plane of the aircraft, each of said second and third fins disposed at an angle, relative to the plane of said fixed wing, in the range of 30 to 60 degrees, each of said second and third fins having about twice the length of said first fin, said prop of the aircraft located aft of said tailfin system.
