List of pusher aircraft by configuration

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A pusher aircraft is a type of aircraft using propellers placed behind the engines and may be classified according to engine/propeller location and drive as well as the lifting surfaces layout (conventional or 3 surface, canard, joined wing, tailless and rotorcraft), Some aircraft have a Push-pull configuration with both tractor and pusher engines. The list includes these even if the pusher engine is just added to a conventional layout (engines inside the wings or above the wing for example).

Conventional and three surface layouts

[edit]

The conventional layout of an aircraft has wings ahead of the empennage.

Direct drive

Prop ahead of tail

Between booms or frames

Canard and tandem layouts

[edit]

A canard is an aircraft with a smaller wing ahead of the main wing. A tandem layout has both front and rear wings of similar dimensions.

Direct drive

[edit]

Remote engine mounting

[edit]

Tailless aircraft, flying wings and closed wing

[edit]

Tailless aircraft lack a horizontal stabilizer, flying wings lack a distinct fuselage, with crew, engines, and payload contained within the wing structure.

Rotorcraft
