摘要 |
An aircraft is disclosed having an engine and a propeller mounted to a fuselage. An empennage mounts to the aircraft and includes first and second horizontal stabilizers separated by a distance greater than the diameter of a stream tube of the propeller at the horizontal stabilizers. A rudder extends between the horizontal stabilizers and is positioned within the stream tube of the propeller. A bulkhead is positioned rearward from the cockpit and oriented perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the airframe. A tailboom and engine are mounted to the airframe by means of the bulkhead having the engine mounted between the tailboom and a lower edge of the bulkhead. Landing gear may mount to the bulkhead proximate a lower edge thereof. Systems and methods redistribute fuel among laterally, vertically, and longitudinally opposed fuel tanks to maintain a center of gravity in a dynamically stable position.
