Abstract
An aircraft comprising a fuselage and a propulsion assembly, the propulsion assembly comprising at least one fan rotor located at the rear of the fuselage in the extension thereof along a longitudinal axis, and a nacelle forming a fairing of the at least one fan rotor into which a flow of air passes. The aircraft also comprises a plurality of radial stator arms mounted upstream of the at least one fan rotor and extending between the fuselage and the nacelle, the radial arms comprising blowing means configured for blowing, into the environment of a trailing edge of the radial arms, an additional air flow adding to the airflow in the extension of the trailing edge.
