Abstract

An arrangement for an aircraft includes a fuselage, a wing, and a propulsor. The wing may have a wing upper surface, a rear spar and a wing trailing edge. The propulsor may include at least one rotor having a rotor diameter and a rotor axis. The propulsor may be mounted such that the rotor is located longitudinally between the rear spar and the wing trailing edge. The propulsor may also be mounted such that a lowest point of the rotor diameter is located vertically above the wing upper surface.
