A jet aircraft (10) has a generally conical front fuselage section (14), a cylindrical intermediate fuselage section (16) defining a passenger compartment, a generally conical aft fuselage section (18), and a single vertical stabilizer (20). The aircraft's propulsion engines (30 and 32) are mounted on pylons (33) on the conical aft fuselage section (18) with the air inlets (34 and 36) thereof disposed entirely within a rearward projection (37) of the lateral cross section of the intermediate fuselage section (16) thereby to preclude the ingestion of foreign objects into the engines (30 and 32) while minimizing the effect of boundary layer airflow. The exhaust nozzles (50 and 52) extend rearwardly past the vertical stabilizer (20) to minimize side line noise.
