Aircraft, such as tri-body aircraft, and associated methods of manufacture. In one embodiment, a tri-body aircraft has a fuselage with a forward portion extending at least partially forward of an aft-mounted main wing and first and second aft portions extending at least partially aft of the main wing. The forward fuselage portion and the first and second aft fuselage portions can include passenger cabins that are connected, allowing passengers to travel between the cabins during flight. In another embodiment, the aircraft includes a propulsion system having a first engine nacelle positioned at least proximate to the first aft fuselage portion, a second engine nacelle positioned at least proximate to the second aft fuselage portion, and a third engine nacelle positioned atop an inverted V-tail extending upwardly from the first and second engine nacelles.
