A low noise aircraft which can reduce engine noise on the ground sharply at the time of take-off and landing by utilizing a well-known mechanism. By utilizing a thrust deflection means constituted of a well-known mechanism for making the direction of thrust variable, exhaust direction of an engine is deflected to the upper side (upward) of the course direction (flight direction) of the aircraft so that the maximum propagation direction of the engine jet exhaust noise is kept away from the ground, thus reducing the engine noise level on the ground at the time of aircraft take-off and landing. In particular, when the thrust deflection type exhaust nozzle (20) is constituted of an upper deflection nozzle (21) and a lower deflection nozzle (22), the engine can generate reverse thrust during a landing run.
