Abstract
An aircraft capable of making short takeoffs and landings includes essentially a fuselage, a wing secured to the fuselage, a front horizontal stabilizer secured to the fuselage on the front end of the fuselage and at least two jet engines for propulsion. According to the architecture proposed, the propulsion engines are arranged side by side above the fuselage in a rear part of the fuselage with a width at least equal to the width of the propulsion group, a fuselage flap device is arranged in the back of the fuselage so that the fuselage flaps adopt at least a position in which the flaps are considerably in a horizontal plane and take at least a high-lift position in which the flaps are turned downward in such a way that the blast created by the jet engines is channeled towards the top surface of the fuselage flaps to induce a blowing effect.
