<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an arrangement for a propeller that reduces noise generated from an open fan aircraft while maintaining advantages of fuel efficiency given by an open fan propeller. <P>SOLUTION: The arrangement for an aircraft 10 includes a fuselage 12, a wing 30, and the propeller 100. The wing may have a wing upper surface 48, a rear spar 58 and a wing trailing edge 54. The propeller may include at least one rotor 110 having a rotor diameter and a rotor axis. The propeller may be mounted so that the rotor is located longitudinally between the rear spar and the wing trailing edge. The propeller may also be mounted so that a lowest point of the rotor diameter is located vertically above the wing upper surface. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
